KINDLES

**What is a Kindle? ** The Amazon Kindle is a convenient, portable reading device. It is the size of a paperback and capable of holding up to 1,500 books.

**How can it benefit me? ** A student can highlight sections of text, make notes anywhere in the text, or even make a clipping of the entire page if desired – it all shows up under ‘clippings’, for easy retrieval later. In addition, unfamiliar words can be instantly defined using the onboard dictionary.

**How can I try one out? ** The chance to use this device is a privilege that we are able to provide to our students provided that the students use extra caution and responsibility. We require parental signature before a Kindle can be signed out to a student.
