Children Reading for Pleasure in the Digital Age (eBook, ePUB)

Mapping Reader Engagement

Beschreibung

What does it mean to become a reader? What are the challenges and opportunities of engaging children in reading for pleasure in the 21st century? This book explores the ways in which reading for pleasure is changing in the era of globalisation, multiculturalism and datafication. Raising the next generation of engaged readers requires knowledge of the enduring characteristics of engagement and markers of quality in books and e-books. In addition, in order to develop new insights into children's experience of reading on and off screen, nuanced understandings of psychological and socio-cultural research are offered. The cross-disciplinary examination integrates key research from educational psychology, new literacies, multimodality and socio-cultural perspectives and explores consequences for practice. An authoritative guide - it invites graduates, researchers and teachers to participate in the authors' interdisciplinary dialogue about reading for pleasure.

Rezensionen

the authors deftly avoid presenting the text as a print versus digital books divide, and instead present a multitude of ways of reading, showing how they can be complementary and further engage and motivate children to read. This book is a timely reminder that we no longer face the issue of how much children should read, as it is all too easy to widen one s repertoire of books in this age of digital libraries. The more imperative matter at hand is the need to consider how digital texts should be considered alongside print texts as resources for cultivating RfP.
