Research is showing that reading comprehension is higher with printed material than with technology such as Kindles, Ipads, etc. The journal Scientific America has a fantastic article written recently showing the advantage of books over media as far as reading comprehension goes. We need to get books in students hands! Yet most school districts will only use funding for technology. Teachers like myself are going to the public for help. Please take a look at my projects. If you can help, thanks a lot!!
