Reading is reading!!! As long as you’re reading, that’s all that matters.

Personally, we feel reading is reading. Whether it be online or in a book, students are still interacting with the text. The quintessential point is that students are engaged and able to apply the strategies to become a more inquisitive reader.

We have conflicted thought about online reading. A kindle book is no different but articles etc. are purposefully short in most cases to guarantee it is read.

I agree that reading is reading. It doesn't matter if it's online or having
a book in your hand.

Crystal, I agree - I am also conflicted with all of the "noise" that comes with reading. There are so many things to distract students from their task (researching online and navigating through popup ads, extra links). Although I try to create authentic experiences, this is a real issue we all face!

I find it interesting that our learners prefer to read paper books rather than read on a device. So it was surprising to me to see that paper copies have declined in the past few years.

Reading in all forms (paper and digital) is still reading! Reading, like all things, evolves over time. We need to focus on how to make digital reading as indepth, connected, and meaningful as traditional paperback reading.

I believe that online platforms have provided new reading formats as we'll as given us new ways to interact with a text.

PDF copies and eBooks make reading much more accessible to all students in our district. I find that students fail to remember to bring a physical copy, but they always have their phone!

Online learning grants us many benefits with attached challenges. Mixed media gives us many learning platforms but we also have to be aware of rampant misinformation on the web.

I definitely feel like I am conflicted about the different ways in which people can read. I think it is great to have all of these different ways to access texts, however, sometimes I wonder how engaged students are at times with electronic texts.

Audiobooks - are they still reading? Hearing someone read to you is still allowing you to engage in the language, the ideas, the experience. You can still use the signposts while listening.

Reading itself is still reading. It’s the way we read that has changed.
