The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to investigate the impact of one-to-one technology on the reading growth of students. In this study, one-to-one technology is specifically Apple iPads and reading growth was measured by analyzing the Northwest Evaluation Associations (NWEA) standardized test known as MAP (Measures of Academic Progress). The study took place in a southwest suburban Chicago elementary district servicing approximately 4000 students. Data were collected from approximately 150 sixth grade students who received iPads and approximately 150 sixth grade students who did not receive iPads. Students reading MAP scores collected from Fall and Spring 2012-2015 was collected for the students sixth and seventh grade years to establish a growth trend. Analyses of data showed iPads did negatively affect the reading growth of sixth grade students. Further analyses showed that negative affect did not continue in the seventh grade and the negative affect was narrowed to a level that was not statistically significant.
