Kindles

**Implementing Kindles in Your Classroom ** //** Kelli McClain **// The Amazon Kindle is a delightful E-Reader option. Although Kind les have typically been accepted as an adult device, young children can gain a lot from having access to them. The Kindle is light weight, with adjustable font. It operates with minimum touch screen commands making it ideal for those young ones who are still mastering fine motor skills. In addition, the Kindle will read a book or article aloud, and offers a dictionary for those students eager to get the most out of their reading. The read aloud and dictionary features will clear up much of the initial confusion when a student encounters a new book. With endless categories of media the Kindle can easily be adapted to any age group or subject. Today’s children get excited over technology, and using a Kindle in the classroom is one way to capture this energy and turn it into enthusiasm over reading. Libraries can offer Kindles for students to check out and take home. Teachers even have the ability to create custom books and article collections for their students. The Kindle can be used as a station during classroom time where students each have a chance to read on them. Kindles will allow the instructor more time to give individual attention to students. Kindles are a motivating tool in any classroom.
