Kindle Ereader Motivates Less-Enthusiastic Readers

Kindle Ereader Motivates Less-Enthusiastic Readers - "To help children become better readers, a Kansas State University professor thinks they may 'need to spend less time with their noses stuck in books'. Lotta Larson, a K-State assistant professor of elementary education, is finding that electronic readers allow children to interact with texts in ways they don't interact with the printed word. Since Fall 2009, Larson has been using the Amazon Kindle in her work with a pair of second-graders. The ereader has features that make the text audible, increase or decrease font size and let readers make notes about the book."
