阅读复兴

The e-book trend is nowhere near peaking.Over the next five years we can expect to see more and more readers move away from printed books and pick up e-books instead.But it doesn't mean the death of the printed book. There are some who prefer printed books.They like having shelves filled with books they've read and books they plan to read;they like the feel of the book in their hands and the different weights and typefaces and layouts of different titles.In other words,they like the physical form of the book almost as much as the words it contains.

Does Your Child Love to Read?

How can you inspire a child to read?Today, many children never develop a love for books. A 1980 California study revealed that nearly 70 percent of sixth-graders polled said they rarely read for pleasure-an identical percentage said they watched four or more hours of TV a day.How can you help a child discover the magic, joy and wonder that come from reading a book? To find out, I spoke with Charles Schulz, the cartoonist, Maurice Sendak, who draws and writes books for children, Judy Blume, who writes for young adults, and Jim Trelease. an authority on motivating children to read,CHARLES SCHULZ, the creator of Peanuts, doesn't think it matters what children read, as long as they read something. As a child, Schulz loved reading comic strips-especially Buck Rogers and Popeye-but in his day, says the cartoonist, " teachers frowned on that kind of reading material."
