  • The moment a student is diagnosed with a reading and/or writing disability, remediation should begin, and that remediation should be paired with instruction through accessible digital media. That media can be pictures, videos, and especially electronic reading
  • t is critically important that we ensure that students—particularly those with learning and other disabilities—develop strong digital literacy skills so that they can fully participate in secondary and postsecondary education and in the careers that await them.

    Example #5: A teacher of students learning to read JoAnn is a second-grade teacher. She has a number of students who, for various reasons, are experiencing difficulty with reading. Each week, JoAnn posts on the school website a list of 20 vocabulary words that will be used in upcoming language arts lessons. Parents can then download these words and use them at home. One of her students, Philip, has been diagnosed with an audio processing disorder that causes him to mishear and subsequently mispronounce parts of words, which is slowing down his ability to decode new words and develop reading fluency. Ongoing pull-out sessions with a speech and language specialist are having an impact, and Philip's parents are working closely with him at home using suggested word games and computer programs. Philip's father, George, is an artist who has begun loading the weekly vocabulary and other words into a flash card iPhone application he found on the App Store. George creates silly images (photos, clip art, drawings) on his computer, records an audio pronunciation of the word to accompany each card, and loads the resulting audio and images onto his iPhone. Philip loves playing with this personalized deck on his father's iPhone. Whenever they are in the car or doing errands, Philip eagerly plays with the flash cards, testing his ability to recognize and pronounce each word. JoAnn has been intrigued by how many students in her class love the idea of making their own multimedia flash cards. She applied for a grant and used the funds to purchase 10 iPod touch devices for the class. She has begun expanding the cards and audio for certain target words to create customized homework decks that directly address specific students' learning challenges with decoding and phonemic awareness. She has hundreds of images and examples to use from worksheets and has also invited her colleagues to help build out this literacy and language arts tool. JoAnn's students also use the iPod unit
