I am a third grade teacher and a reading specialist. I have several students who are struggling to learn to read. One of them is very learning disabled. I use my personal Kindle 2 to give her the freedom to enjoy reading books that are at her normal developmental level but too difficult to tackle on her own. Her reading has improved and she is beginning to make some wonderful gains in word recognition and decoding. The text-to-speech feature is what enables her to do this work. It is imperative that it continue to be offered on the Kindle and other digital readers.
