Below are a few articles from Teacher magazine on students and Digital Literacy - not just the reading and writing but the understanding and the knowing.
It makes for some interesting reading - and I would bet my bottom dollar that a lot of adults would be in the same boat as well with very minimal deep reading skills.
It seems that, although we do our best to encourage students to read for pleasure, we rarely do the same for adults - and adults need to develop the same deep reading skills for all of the same reasons .. and, as is often said 'what you don't use, you lose!'
Although - to be fair .. just having someone READ, whatever they are reading - is seen as a win in today's world! But then, if the skills are not being developed - can it really be a win?
Take a few moments to check out the offerings below and hopefully there will be something to catch your interest.
