<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am looking forward to using this free app with our students:</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.546875px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.546875px;"> Students can practice reading to build fluency using the iPrompt iPad app. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.546875px;"> To introduce this app I plan to choose a familiar text. I will cut and paste the text into the app.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17.546875px;">It also allows for some differentiation in that you can alter the font size and speed of delivery to meet the needs of your students. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17.546875px;">One student can act as a timekeeper and mentor, where required, for another child.</span><br />
