Abstract
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to survey how early childhood educators in districts around Arizona State University West integrated technology in literacy instruction. Six districts were identified and 18 participants interviewed to determine how they used technology, to identify concerns for developmental appropriateness and to discuss how learning was enhanced when literacy was linked to technology. Findings indicate that technology was used within the existing curriculum, schedules accommodated use of technology and that the software used extended literacy activities. Adaptations were made to address the needs of young children and technology motivated acquisition of literacy in purposeful ways. Results have influenced future reading method courses in content and requirements.
