Across America, students are entering high school with under grade level reading skills. Because of this, students and teachers are faced with finding alternatives to bring students up to a proficient level before they leave high school. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study research was to discover how teachers and students perceive the use of technology during instruction for reading engagement and student achievement in secondary English classes. To that end, the researcher conducted a qualitative case study by interviewing five teachers who taught at least one section of 10th grade world literature English classes in the Atlanta, GA, metropolitan area. Constructivism was used as the theoretical framework for this study to activate teachers' and students' experiences with technology and align it with academic growth. This study examined how the integration of technology affects how teachers teach and how students learn. Once all interviews were completed, they were transcribed verbatim, and participants were given an opportunity to review and approve the transcription to verify accuracy. The researcher applied this method of triangulation using multiple sources (research literature, transcription check, and hand-coded themes) as a cross check. Fifteen interviews were conducted with teachers, and 10 students participated in an anonymous online survey. In this study, three aspects of technology use were examined: perceptions toward student achievement in reading, perceptions of technology to assist with engagement and content mastery, and instructional strategies that support the skills of literacy and comprehension. Main themes that emerged through this research were bridging the achievement gap, self-motivation, and reflection of practice. Using various academic software technologies, teachers were able to see how students were being remediated for their deficiencies at a faster pace. Through the infusion of technology, students began taking an initiative in their learning. Teachers also benefited from the technology by reflecting on their method of meeting student needs. Overall, the qualitative case study on the use of technology with students in secondary English classes indicated that teachers understand the benefit of technology in the 21st century to propel student academic achievement.
