La Cañada High School: “Help! I Need Something to Read!”
Grades 9-12
After students have had their first full online learning… La Cañada High School Library’s Ms. Bozzani suggests they get a printed book and read for pleasure using their IRC … go to Google then click on the link LCHSIRC (LCHS Information Resource Center) and go to the first link that shows up “Help I need something to read! 9-12…” When you click on that page, go to the Library bookshelves’ photo, and that will open up the Library’s catalogue – with an array of books, field of studies and subjects to choose from.
Researchers Schugar et. al (2013) worked with middle-grade students and found that those who read print comprehended more than those who read an eBook on an iPad. This is further confirmed by Reich, Yau and Warschauer in their 2016 report on using tablet-based eBooks with very young children (0 to 2 years), which comments that enhanced eBooks with sounds, animations, and games can distract children and reduce learning. When book-sharing with an adult, conversations during eBook reading are often about the platform while print book conversations are more often about the book content.
