• Research with 34,910 young people aged 8 to 16 reveals: • 39% of children and young people read daily using electronic

devices including tablets and eReaders, but only 28% read printed materials daily.

• The number of children reading eBooks has doubled in the last two years (from 6% to 12%).

• Children prefer to read on screen. Over half (52%) said they would rather read on electronic devices but only a third (32%) would rather read in print.

The Case for Preserving the Pleasure of Deep Reading

• The deep reader, protected from distractions and attuned to the nuances of language, enters a state that psychologist Victor Nell, in a study of the psychology of pleasure reading, likens to a hypnotic trance. Nell found that when readers are enjoying the experience the most, the pace of their reading actually slows. The combination of fast, fluent decoding of words and slow, unhurried progress on the page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with reflection, analysis, and their own memories and opinions. It gives them time to establish an intimate relationship with the author, the two of them engaged in an extended and ardent conversation like people falling in love. – http://tinyurl.com/m9kcxu3

Literacy Definition

The large majority of discourse on literacy, focused on print-based decoding skills and the written word (Unsworth, 2001).

The tools available today support a reconceptualization of literacy and more expanded definition. Now the

term is plural: “literacies”. This

suggests the large diversity of meanings that derive from the social and cultural practices empowered by the tools available, and which allow for a more participatory approach.

• “Literacy as I am using the term is definitely a skill. But solitary skills are not enough today. Literacy now means skill plus social competency in using that skill collaboratively” – (Rheingold, 2013, p. 4)

(Rheingold, 2013)
