There are so many more distractions now for kids than there were in my youth that it is more common to read less. <br /><br />Seeing that kids embrace reading on kindle is better than no reading at all!Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519691494230856599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542683203952246031.post-36990696232403778112011-04-02T18:34:03.432-05:002011-04-02T18:34:03.432-05:00Love your style!

I'm such a sentimentalist, and I don't want these kiddos to miss out on the experience of a good book. I'm talking the sensorial experience: smell of paper and ink, the crisp rattle as you turn a page, the book weighted on your lap or in your palms. Can't get that w/a Kindle. Not saying i'm against it! Just hope they still pick up a real book from time to time. ;-)Anita Grace Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797870961916148616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542683203952246031.post-27164644776788554172011-04-02T10:08:38.880-05:002011-04-02T10:08:38.880-05:00My sister (13) is a really good reader.

William Faulkner wrote : Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. <br />Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. <br />Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window." <br /><br />Seems like fun advice if nothing else, rigtht?Roland D.

When I see picture books on the IPad, I am often disturbed by it. But then, I think, it's just one more way for a kid to get their hands on a book and read.

My children were the same way, though my 18 yo now had a color nook he has downloaded books on and my 14 yo is downloading books on his itouch. Only my daughter has paper only - though she looks at my Kindle longingly. We read from both. What are you reading now?Sheila Silerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284982582798743408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542683203952246031.post-38995584894647039662011-04-02T07:45:14.711-05:002011-04-02T07:45:14.711-05:00What a cool idea!
