Interesting. I never thought about this.LKCooper wrote:Let them read the format of their choice, as long as they're reading. We love paperbacks because we grew up with them, but honestly, if a tablet gets them interested, then great! Frankly, if we are going to preserve the Earth, we need to start embracing tech more, and less cutting down of trees to make more books. Less than 50% are being published on recycled paper... That's over 2 billion books printed on trees in the U.S. alone each year.

Why is that, if I may ask.Ama Idim wrote:Starting with paperbacks I'll say, there's definitely something about this. Ebooks still ok

People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.

When I first began homeschooling our brood, I set them up with online literature. Our book shelves stay full and available. But, I noticed the schools had even the younger grades using screen time for their learning. A short few weeks later into our curriculum, I would hear complaining about eye aches and headaches. I took them all to the eye doctor, where they obtained simple reading glasses to wear as needed, except for one who's sight was a bit more off. Then I rearranged their lessons to screen-readable or printable to allow for choice.
While I see the connection for development of I-hand coordination can include traditional books, I also allowed for personal preference which seemed to help with home-schooling. Low and behold, we spend a significant amount of time and money on paper and ink. Majority of our lessons are requested in tangible paper form. This includes the older tween in our home.

Given that kids would probably have more free time than most adults and that they don't have to think about expenses yet, they should be starting with the basic. Nothing beats the feel of a book on your hands. Let them have a feel of the physical ones first before exposing them to digital copies.
