Wheeler Elementary School is encouraging students to become proficient and strategic readers through a new project developed by Logan entitled, "iListen, iRead, iPod." Logan explains the program will allow readers on multiple levels to advance skills at their own pace and comfort. After teachers introduce words, phrasing, and expressions, students will complete lessons provided by digital texts downloaded on portable media players. This technology will engage learners in real life situations to increase vocabulary and fluency. Teachers will create podcasts for students to review and the students' podcasts will demonstrate their literacy ability. The portability of the media players will permit students to work on reading skills outside the classroom. Logan resides in Gretna.
