Conklin’s innovative teaching idea, “Read to Me!,” is designed to help students whose native language in the home is not English, expand their English vocabulary through technology. These students often hear other languages when they leave school and only hear English spoken in school. The goal of the project is to acquire as many recorded books as possible to allow students at all grade levels the opportunity to listen to English words being read. By implementing the project, each student will be able to have a CD player to use for the year to play audio books, allowing families to not have to worry about spending money they may not have.
