Reading on a screen is different from reading print. The INFOhio Early Literacy Task Force collected INFOhio's Best Practices for Digital Reading from journals, education publications, and research studies. Use these best practices to help students of all ages become readers who can comprehend, analyze, and evaluate screen text or book text. As you review the Best Practices for Digital Reading, think about what you already do when using digital text and what you may need to do.
Read the Teach With INFOhio blog, Reading on the Screen: Why Supporting Digital Natives Matters! about the importance of integrating digital text into instruction and learning to promote critical thinking skills. While the blog post does not directly referenceThe World Almanac for Kids Elementar, consider how the information and instructional strategies discussed can support the integration and use of digital text with students.
Reading on a screen requires a few additional supports to help students go deeper and comprehend more. Read the article Strategies to Help Students "Go Deep" When Reading Digitally from Mindshift KQED.
