Bridging Technology And Literacy: Developing Digital Reading And Writing Practices In Grades K-6

This book provides information on integrating digital tools into English Language Arts and literacy instruction at the K-5 grade levels. This text will not only introduce readers to various types of digital tools and resources but will provide practical approaches for using digital tools in instruction. Each chapter will contain key elements that prompt brainstorming about digital tools, connections to the Common Core State Standards in Language Arts, and resources for teachers to plan instruction that incorporates digital tools. A detailed lesson plan is provided in each chapter to illustrate how that digital tool may be used in instruction. Finally, sample activities and resources relevant to the topical digital tool are presented. The closing chapter describes possible issues that may arise when integrating digital tools into instruction to address concerns or hesitations relevant to integrating digital technology into K-5 curricula.
