- Electronic Devices such as Educational Insights' GeoSafari Phonics Pad, a computer with a talking word processor, or Alphasmarts's Dana
- Use of interactive storybooks and talking books
- Accelerated Reader- most popular, used to diagnose student's reading level and track comprehension
- Digital Storytelling
- Find sites that match the student's interests and reading levels
- Use of Blogs- used as private journals or public discussion forum
- Motivate writing with video projects (script writing)
- Discussion boards promote both reading and writing within the classroom
- Use of online example to promote writing- have the students look up examples of types of poems for inspiration
- Electronic outliners- automatically generate headings and subheadings from typed information
