Children with autism sometimes struggle comprehending
meaning from text. However, reading comprehension is extremely important
because it allows students to determine their own opinion and reasoning of the
story. I recommend using engaging technology with children with autism because certain
colors such as blue, dark yellow, and green can be used to enhance their memorization
and attentions skills. I believe
technology can be used as a great tool to intrigue and improve reading
comprehension for children with autism. For example, certain apps can hold
children with autism attention longer. A great app I plan to use for children
with autism in my classroom is Visual Reading. Although the cost is
$16.99, it is worth every penny. I believe this app has the resources to
improve reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. Another great app I
plan to use in my classroom to help children with autism is Reading
Comprehension Grade 3. I love how this app guides and rewards students, which
helps motivate them to learn more as well. Additional apps for children with autism include:
Inference Clues, Same Sound Spell Bound, Opposite Ocean, Picture the Sentence
Lite, Noodle Words HD, and Smarty Ears. Elementary teachers can use these apps
to motivate students to create, communicate, and collaborate with their peers.
