Best Practices for Teaching with Digital Readers
Digital reading differs from print reading
Reading comprehension◦Reader factors◦Text factors
Reading ComprehensionReader factors address the aspects that
the readers bring to the reading experience such as background knowledge, engagement with text, and strategies used while reading.
Text factors represent the author’s contributions to the reading experience including the author’s ideas, organization of ideas, and the words used to express those ideas.
(Tompkins, 2010)

Young Adults and Digital Books One third have not read an ebook 63% have not read a digital
textbook
I read Frindle on my iPhone. I liked it because I always have my phone with me, therefore, I always had the book with me! I also enjoyed how you could change the colors, font size, or the way you read (scroll or book style). I read a lot more as an ebook! I usually am not very motivated to read, but this was different. I LOVE IT! I have never read an e-book before, but my iBooks library is quickly filling up; I have read two ebooks in record time! I think this has encouraged me to read more.
I finished the book faster because I read while waiting in lines, hanging out with friends, etc. I am not as against it as I once was. Convenience is nice, but it is a double-edged sword. It makes us frustrated when we can't get something right away and dissatisfied with simple joys. Maybe I am reading too far into it.

A Word of Caution
