**Inquiry Question**: How can teachers use technology to promote reading for reluctant readers?

I am interested in exploring how teachers can use technology to promote reading for reluctant readers. My focus is on reluctant readers in the elementary years, however, I am sure that the tools and strategies I find can be modified to encourage readers of all ages. I chose to research this issue because I rarely ever took advantage of reading for pleasure after about third grade. I feel like that was one of my biggest regrets as a student and a person because I experienced the repercussions of it later in life. If I could find tools that could help instill a love of reading in my students and learn how to use them effectively, I know my students will be better off because of it.
