Learning by HEART: Read an article about reading- Preserving Deep Reading


A common problem I used to have.

  • The one thing that the article confirmed it that less people are reading deeply. Most people now days read online, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but like the article said, it causes people to become more distracted when reading, which does not fully allow them to immerse themself into the book. One thing I did not know before reading this article was that people who read online are less-likely to be above-average readers. I honestly never thought about this, but it makes sense. More reading online leads to greater potential of becoming distracted. Also, I did not know that people who read online were more likely to not enjoy reading. I found this fact interesting. One thing that I would like to try more is reading in my spare time. I remember in high school and middle school, you would never catch me without a book to read whenever I had time. I remember countless AG and softball trips, were I would read the whole way to our destination. The school librarian knew my name and would practically have books waiting for me when I came in. I would really like to pick this habit back up. What I am going to do is challenge myself to read at least two books a month.
