The school compares the engaging components, visual, and connection to their pedological components of reading. The three online e-book companies they examined are Jong-Bus, Clark-Mayer, and Blueprint Key. They all had their strength and weaknesses, but they decided to include Blueprint Key. They chose Blueprint Key since they had a stronger suit in vocabulary, assessments, primary point, and highlighting. They concluded that in the end, they would prefer to use more than one depending on the content.

Two districts are trying to incorporate technology into literacy so they can introduce new techniques. They will have traditional teaching and have a certain amount of time of education using technology to enhance reading. They want to compare five objectives which are pre-reading, reading, exploring, responding and applying. They want to see if introducing a familiar element to elementary students will increase their reading which they saw an improvement in their reading with 35% of the time of the class of technology.

The researcher wants to see if introducing technology; we can have both the students and parents to enjoy literacy. They want to see that by adding technology to the scholarship they can share the eBooks to parents so that they can read with their children. They find a manner of sharing the eBook with the parents so they can read with them which increased their reading habits. This had an opportunity to have an interaction with technology to promote literacy with both parents and students.

Low-Income students don’t have access to much technology which has a disadvantage for the students. Allowing students to have an engaging computer-based system will increase the knowledge of reading and math. The students that started to participate in the learning of equipment system had an increase in the state assessments and improved their reading skills. Those that didn’t participate had lower scores compare to those that used the computer-based learning program. The students started to better with the engaging teaching and the use of the computer-based
