Hi, everyone! My teach back is to create a program that can help the ELL students to enhance their reading comprehension skills. I have a great time doing this project.This is the link to my teach back slide show.

Teach Back Reflection:
1)What you've learned from completing this assignment;
First, I learned how to use the powerpoint or slide show without the help from other people. Second, I learned how to upload the power point to slide share net software. Third, I learned how to help ESL students improved their reading comprehension through the five stages such as Phonics awareness, vocabulary development, fluency achievement and reading comprehension. Each stages have a lot of games activities and software for students to practice. However, the only problem I found from completing this project was that I did not read the instruction carefully which I assumed was to develop a powerpoint. Therefore, I spent a great amount of time completing this assignment doing a lot of research.
2) What would you do differently if you did this assignment or used this software again?
I would read the directions more carefully before I begin with the project.I will use this software to complete this assignment because this software is very useful which can uplaod slide show at once.
3)Tell how this topic or software would be useful in a classroom.
This topic is very interesting and useful in the classroom curriculum. Most of the students are English as a Second Language Learners helping them build their reading comprehension skills. This must be the most challenging task for a teacher. This project can be used as a learning center in the classroom to help students developed their reading comprehension skills.
