Using Technology to Support Literacy

Pictures and ideas thanks to Nancy Yost, Indiana University of Pennsylvania
University School Kindergarten


Children make their own books in Ms. Yost's classroom. They draw pictures, dictate text and Ms. Yost transfers that dictation from handwritten notes to word processed text. The text is then cut and pasted into the children's books. This large text is much easier for young eyes to read and Ms. Yost has real control over text size. The finished product is a very professional-looking book.

Nancy Yost has a web site which you should visit!
