 * Literacy ||< I've adapted the Escondido iRead program to use iPod touches with the Read Naturally program. It comes with CD's of stories you read aloud with that get progressively faster. I uploaded them all into my iTunes library. Now my students choose a one page story, listen to the vocabulary words, write a prediction, use the iPod to time their "cold read," then listen and read along with the story using earbuds. Next they time themselves reading it on their own 5 times. Finally they record a voice memo (using the iPhone mic/headphones) of their "hot read," which they sync and add their data. || Fluency, student feedback, self-assessment and reflection ||  ||
