I read as much as I can. I started to say that I read a lot, but that is meaningless. I know folks who read more than I do and I know folks who read less. I even know folks who say that they don’t read at all. Can you imagine?
I guess it all comes down to what reading is. I am not talking about reading a newpaper article or two on Sunday, although I do that. I’m not talking about incidental reading one does daily, like directions to a restaurant. I mean reading a novel for enjoyment or a non-fiction book that sharpens one’s understanding of the world or a magazine or professional journal to engage in a deeper thinking about one’s environment.
Now, I find myself retrieving my reading material as much, if not more, from internet sites. I actually reviewed an 18C book written by a French philosopher explaining his religious views. Thank you Google for offering millions of books online. Which brings me to the core of this post: HB 4294 allows districts to use textbook funding for electronic textbooks. Wow! Think about it, or rather, what do you think about it? Go to Steve johnson's article, How the E-Book Will Change the Way We Read and Write, for a fun read.
