Lincoln County Public Education Foundation (LCPEF) Grant Winner Dr. Laurie Dymes, North Lincoln Middle School English/Language Arts Teacher, used grant funds to purchase C-Pens. Dr. Dymes said, "Thanks to the LCPEF grant, our students now have access to C-Pens, cutting-edge assistive technology that empowers readers with challenges like dyslexia. These portable scanning pens help students decode text independently by converting text into speech. In the photos, you'll see our students exploring their new C-Pens, building confidence and skills as they read. We’re thrilled to bring these resources into our classrooms to support diverse learning needs and make reading more accessible for everyone!" The LCPEF funds mini teaching grants that demonstrate innovative approaches to instructional practice as well as solve educational problems or meet significant challenges that have not been met effectively.
