With this funding, I will purchase a classroom subscription to Reading Eggs. A typical day in my classroom is full of excitement from young and eager learners. My students are always excited to learn something new; watching them truly understand a concept is one of the best parts of my job as a teacher. My students will use this subscription to Reading Eggs to help supplement our reading curriculum in a technology-based manner that is exciting and fun. Reading Eggs is a program that will provide my students with access to learning through technology that they may not be able to receive at home. We will use the subscription daily in our literacy stations. Although my students are just beginning their learning career, there are high expectations for where they should be at the end of the school year. These students come in with a wide range of abilities and are expected to be readers by the end of the school year. Funding this project will help increase the engagement and excitement of my students when working in literacy stations and allow them to use technology on an everyday basis. Many of my students lack the foundational skills they need to become skilled readers. While worksheets are overrated, ReadingEggs offers an engaging online website and app that my students can have access to at their fingertips while reinforcing skills they need in order to become fluent readers. They will be able to access the app as a literacy station and also during their free time when needed. In order for our students to be globally competitive in the future, it is so critical to have the appropriate digital resources.
