Abstract

Due to instructional limitations embedded within basal reading programs, the use of text sets offers teachers alternative instructional resources. Text sets can be utilized in all subject areas to increase exposure to a variety of digital and print literacy resources. Multimodal literacy as a form of blended learning, incorporates traditional texts with digital opportunities, allowing learners to connect, experience, and understand literacy through a plethora of engaging channels. Digital tools and digital literacy allow students to connect with current information in an engaging manner while increasing literacy skills. The end goal of incorporating digital components into text sets is to meet the academic needs of all students.
