Abstract
This chapter focuses on the use of iPad technology and educational applications to assist struggling K-12 readers. Based on research at a university reading clinic, this chapter offers strategies for selecting, evaluating, and incorporating this technology into literacy instruction. The chapter includes suggestions for educators that offer examples of how specific apps were used successfully as well as the alignment to the Common Core State Standards during the lesson. Further, an evaluation rubric created based on the study results will help literacy teachers identify the app features that both motivate students and target specific literacy skills so that they can offer more tailored instruction for struggling readers. Finally, the implications of this study suggest that more research is required to learn how the use of digital tablets, particularly for students with learning disabilities, allows for individualized and modified instruction for students with diverse needs.
