- Title
Using Nooks to Hook Reluctant Readers.

- Abstract
This article presents the findings of a two-year qualitative study of electronic reading device use with high school sophomores, most of whom self-identified as reluctant or struggling readers. Electronic readers were used primarily in one weekly fifty-minute class period, during silent sustained reading, wherein students chose freely their texts. The author-researcher identifies five qualities of using electronic readers that appeared to help keep students engaged with reading: convenience, novelty, escape, privacy, and flow.
