In this lesson, students will read e-books and use digital tools (dictionaries and notes) to support their development of vocabulary.

e-Book Reading and Response: Innovative Ways to Engage with Texts
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

In this multi-session lesson, students use computers or digital readers to read and respond to e-books. Students learn how to use e-book tools and features to support their reading processes. In particular, they insert digital notes into a book to record their thoughts and ideas in response to the text. Whole-class and small-group discussions about different types of responses encourage students to broaden their response repertoire. At the end of the lesson, students review their digital notes and fill out handouts that help them reflect on the value of the e-book reading experience and the subsequent response process.
