I was introduced to the Write to Read Program in 1991 with the Kindergarten Class of our school. This program was used to help student learn to read and write.
Students arrive in the classroom with a variety of skills and life experiences.
Technology was just beginning in our school in the early nineties. Many students had never seen a computer, much less used one. Our school was fortunate to have a computer lab with about twenty-four computers. The program was used to introduce students to technology, as well as, enhance the teaching of basic reading and writing skills. The classroom teacher would teach the students, for example, the alphabet and then the student would work on matching lower and upper case letters.
