3. Technology in
Action
Computer lab time
was four days a week
for twenty minutes.
During this time the
students were able to
use the Waterford
program to practice
the fluency skills and
strategies that we
learned in the
classroom.

4. Using the
Microphones!
Here is a student
who is practicing
their fluency by
recording their
reading of a story.
Then the child is
able to listen to
their own reading
and she where
they need to
practice!

5. Helping diverse
learners
This also was a
great program to
help my English
Language Learners.
It provided a
challenge for the
students no matter
where a student is
at in their literacy
level.
