This kind of child in the past at least could have exposure to books at schools, libraries, or have them lent to them by friends, etc. But if they were to have to own a Kindle, etc., to be able to read in the future, that kid would probably be less likely to read, as they would have to have a gadget to enable them to read. Chances are they wouldn't own such a gadget, especially if they came from an impoverished home. This is where I see the down side to e-books.Carolyn Twede Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07262989638447923695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-28650357045279726872010-05-26T14:07:08.777-04:002010-05-26T14:07:08.777-04:00Book Expos will be a bit smaller if physical books...Book Expos will be a bit smaller if physical books dwindle to next to nothing. (I guess all the publishers will just display covers and allow people to hook up their eReaders to download the free books.)<br /><br />Wish I couold be there.

I love reading books on my laptop, but I also enjoy picking up a novel and reading it from cover to cover. Who knows maybe media books will even help kids read more novels?

There lies the seeming inequity of the child of the educated parents doing better than the child of the ones who do not value reading. The only solution is for reading to be pushed at school, for books to be available at school and for someone to take the trouble with each child to see that something of interest has been found and is read.M Clement Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14422621517381625768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-86649816927862290032010-05-25T19:24:31.624-04:002010-05-25T19:24:31.624-04:00My own kids prefer real books.

As an elementary teacher, I can attest to the idea that the kids who have involved parents are often the ones bringing books to school from home. These children are typically the most successful, as well. In the future, whether this book comes in the digital format or not, the value placed on literacy at home will not change. It's all in the weight families place on reading and how families foster this love. Electronic or not, the love of literacy will likely endure.<br /><br />MarissaMartina Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358736828122139189noreply@blogger.com
