The Dell Inspiron 11.6' laptop will not just spark the students' reading, but ignite a light in their reading skills. The laptop was selected to help the children with their reading skills. I have observed that my students are yearning to do better at reading but they are lacking integral tools; which are laptops. With the laptops given, they will able to do their AR (reading) quizzes in the morning or their reading activities. This quiz tests their comprehension skills and vocabulary level based on what they have read. When they have read the book and able to show understanding based on what they have done on the quiz, they have a flower that grows each time. This motivates them to work harder each time to get the flower to grow. I have seen where students have read and tried to read books for days with the hope of going on the computer to get the opportunity; but, sadly, they do not have enough laptops. I see the spark go out when they are not given the opportunity to be quizzed on the books they have read.
