Reading Remixed
Valenza, Joyce Kasman; Stephens, Wendy
Educational Leadership, v69 n6 p75-78 Mar 2012
Critics claim that digital technologies are killing reading, but these teacher-librarians have observed that teens are as excited about reading as they ever were. Online communities give these readers opportunities to get to know authors, communicate with other fans, and learn more about books of interest. Publishers and authors are responding to the changes by creating sites for readers and developing books that with stories that readers can experience on multiple platforms. Many readers, inspired by the books they love, are creating their own content or banding together to raise money and awareness for important causes. This article covers the many ways teen readers are using digital technology, interacting with books, authors, and one another.
