One of the Best Practices for Digital Reading is "Teachers/caregivers and parents should communicate frequently about the use of digital text." Sharing quality text from INFOhio and other digital platforms with parents and encouraging its use at home is one way to develop learners who identify technology as a way to learn as well as a source of entertainment.
