"We believe that technology can play a highly significant role in promoting literacy among all students and particularly among low-income and minority students" (Cummins, 2007). One way we use technology during reading almost daily is with powerpoint slides of the stories in our curriculum. In our school, one of our very wonderful teachers spent a lot of time scanning the stories from our reading curriculum and saving them as powerpoints. There are times when we work with one story for a few days and it is nice to have another way to present the story to the class; it keeps them interested and focused. Here is an example of a poem which went with our theme 'stick to it.'
