Researchers find that reading for understanding online requires the same skills as offline reading, including using prior knowledge and making predictions, plus a set of additional critical-thinking skills that reflect the open-ended, continually changing online context.
Response:
This quote discusses something that i have tried to understand for years. Reading is reading. May it be on the Internet or in a book, it is still reading for a child. In all honesty i believe it is easier to flip through a web page than it is to find a book in the library and flip through its pages to find something you are looking for. The only bad part about web pages is that some/most are not very credible in their information. This is why i believe we should teach our children at a young age to decipher which pages are good for information and which ones are not. I believe this would benefit our future children's learning.
