iLit helps those with reading difficulties

                      iLit is a virtual classroom reading website where kids can learn to read at their own pace. Each day they can find a book to read independently from over 400 choices. There are many different genre that the student can choose from and also different reading levels. This website is similar to a Kindle or Nook where it follows along with the progress of the child's reading. It gives them the tools to better enhance their reading by offering the ability to make a note of words or sentences that they want to reflect on later. The dictionary tool is very useful as well. It gives them the spoken word and will even show them a picture of the word to help them visualize the word.
From the teachers view, it allows him or her to follow along on the child's progress and allows them to conference with them individually. The teacher can ask all the students questions that they write about in their journals.
I like this technology for classrooms. it gives kids the chance to learn at their own pace but also has the help of  a tech tool when needed.
