Reading on Screens: The New Way to Dive into Stories

Hi there! My name is Alex, and I'm a 4th grader at Oakwood

Elementary School. I love to read all kinds of books, from

adventure stories to mysteries to books about science and

history. But these days, I don't just read regular paper books – I

also do a lot of my reading on electronic devices like tablets,

e-readers, and even my mom's smartphone sometimes!

It's really cool how we can access so many books right at our

fingertips thanks to technology. My parents got me a

kid-friendly tablet last year, and I've been using it to read ebooks

from our local library. All I have to do is borrow the ebooks

online, and they get delivered straight to my tablet! No more

waiting for the library to have a physical copy available.

One of the best things about reading on a device is that I can

customize the text to make it perfect for my eyes. If the font is

too small, I can make it bigger with just a pinch of my fingers. If

the background is too bright, I can change it to a softer tone

that's easier on my eyes, especially when I'm reading at night

before bed. Some ebooks even have audio options, so I can

listen to the story being read aloud if I get tired of reading

myself.

Speaking of reading at night, having ebooks on my tablet is

super handy when I'm travelling or going on vacations with my

family. Instead of packing a whole bunch of heavy books in my

suitcase, I can just bring my tablet and have a whole library's

worth of stories right there! It's way more convenient, and I never

have to worry about running out of things to read.

Of course, I still love the feel and smell of a good old paper

book. There's just something special about turning the pages

and getting lost in a physical book. But I've come to really

appreciate the advantages of ebooks and digital reading too.

One of the coolest things is that some ebooks have

interactive features that make the stories come alive even more.

In certain books, I can tap on illustrations to see animated scenes

or hear sound effects. Some non-fiction books even have video

clips that help explain concepts in a really engaging way.

Another big plus of reading on devices is that it's much

easier to look up words I don't know. If I come across an

unfamiliar vocabulary word, I can just hold my finger on it, and

the definition pops up right there on the screen. No more

struggling to figure out meanings from context clues or

constantly interrupting my reading to grab a dictionary!

That reminds me, ebooks also make it super simple to take

notes, highlight important passages, and even share my favorite

quotes on social media or with my classmates. With paper books,

I have to dog-ear the pages or scribble in the margins, but most

reading apps and ebook platforms allow me to make digital

annotations. I can even search within the text for particular

words or phrases I need to find again later.

Despite all these awesome digital reading capabilities, I

know some people worry that kids like me are missing out by not

reading physical books as much. They think we're getting

distracted too easily by games, videos, and other apps on our

devices. And sure, I'll admit – sometimes I do get sidetracked and

have to remind myself to stay focused on my book. But plenty of

my friends still prefer to read paper books, and that's perfectly

fine too!

At the end of the day, what matters most is that we're all

reading, learning new things, exercising our imaginations, and

developing strong literacy skills. Whether you're turning the

pages of a hardcover or swiping across a tablet screen, reading is

reading. And in my opinion, having choices and variety when it

comes to how we experience books and stories is pretty darn

cool.

So while printed books will always have a special place on

my bookshelf, I'm really glad I also get to take advantage of

ebooks and digital reading technologies. From customizing the

text to exploring interactive features to accessing thousands of

titles from anywhere, reading on devices has opened up a whole

new world of possibilities for bookworms like me. Maybe

someday I'll even write and publish my own ebook for other kids

to enjoy! But for now, you can find me curled up with a good

whichever way I feel like escaping

into an amazing literary adventure.
