Reading on the Screen
Reading print text is different from reading digital text. Research and studies support specific strategies and approaches to help students read complex text online for comprehension and synthesis. This group has been created for INFOhio users of digital text to learn about and reflect on integrating best practices into instruction. To learn more about reading on the screen, explore the asynchronous classes in the Grades K-5 and Grades 6-12 Digital Content Learning Pathways.

You have to teach students the skills required to read online. They are different than those required to read in print. However, the ultimate goal should be finding the type and style of reading that kids enjoy most and then fostering it to ensure a love of reading continues and expands into adulthood.
With testing online, students need to master the art of online reading to fully understand the text. No ads or other on screen distractions should be incorporated into the reading selection. Utilizing text features also help the students focus on the selection.
For the higher level students, being able to navigate sites quickly and effectively will save time and narrow down your text/article to gather information.
We need to spend time teaching students how to read online. We need to teach all teachers the differences between reading online and on paper so they can help their students be better prepared.
We need to be more intential about teaching kids to read, especially online. There are skills they need to develop and we need to teach those skills to the teachers better so that we can do better overall.
Digital reading skills must be taught and should be taught at an early age to ensure that tech-comfy students are effective digital readers.
We have to teach children on how to read online. With using the Highlights, it's a good resource for teaching them and has activities to enhance their reading.
I think it is important to remember that there are certain skills that need to be taught when reading on the screen. Technology has advanced and is amamzing, but if we don't teach students how to take full advantage of the features that are available for them to make the most out of their reading. Whether it's bimodal text, highlighted text, text read aloud, translated text, etc. It is important that they learn how to use these features so they are successful with reading online.
That I learned of another resource to utilize when particular physical books are not accessible, to continue learning on child-interest topics, and to use the interactive read-aloud option to follow along as the Preschool children emerge in the beginning stages of reading and familiar letter-sound correspondances.
