- Title
Digital Readers: The Next Chapter in E-Book Reading and Response.
- Authors
Larson, Lotta C.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of e-books and e-book readers in elementary education settings. The author suggests that e-books can be used by reading teachers to teach literacy skills to students, particularly reading and response. Particular focus is given to children's interaction with and response to digital book readers such as Kindle from bookseller Amazon, Sony Reader from electronics company Sony, and Nook from bookseller Barnes & Noble. The article provides details of a research study done in a second-grade classroom and discusses the interactive elements of e-readers including searching for key words and phrases, changing font size, and listening to portions of a book using text-to-speech features.
