There is so much she can learn from reading and it will help her grades. It may be none of my business but think it over. Being well read is the gateway to wisdom and spiritural riches. An iPod? Just another distraction at this point. Just somebody (with an iPod) and 5 grandchildren expressing my 2 cents.
iPods in the classroom are becoming more popular:

iPod in the Classroom

Witness the evolution of the revolution.

iPod quickly took over the classroom as a portable learning tool, allowing anywhere, anytime access to speeches, audiobooks, and lectures. Soon photos and podcasts expanded teaching possibilities, and, now, just a few months later, video is evolving the experience even further. The opportunities are endless for teachers to seamlessly create, organize, distribute, and access all kinds of learning materials.


I understand she's only six, but the iPod is more than a music device nowadays.
