TULLAHOMA, TN (WSMV) –The coolest classroom gadgets on two wheels are making a difference and teaching Tullahoma City Schools students to read.

A group of third graders at Tullahoma’s Robert E. Lee Elementary School are taking part in a groundbreaking reading program now in its second year with the district.

Reading specialist Dr. Joanne Coggins is new to the program.

“This one helps students that have difficulty with reading words accurately and decoding words they don’t know,” Coggins said.

And with a new program comes a steep learning curve, even for the teacher. That’s where Jessica comes in.

More than 1,200 miles away in Denver, Jessica watches the reading group through cameras connected to a robot, which she controls from her keyboard.
