Why Reading Books Still Matters
Why Reading Books Still Matters: The Power of Literature in Digital Times | Robert P. Waxler, Martha C. Pennington
4 posts
Bringing together strands of public discourse about valuing personal achievement at the expense of social values and the impacts of global capitalism, mass media, and digital culture on the lives of children, this book challenges the potential of science and business to solve the worlds problems without a complementary emphasis on social values. The selection of literary works discussed illustrates the power of literature and human arts to instill such values and foster change. The book offers a valuable foundation for the field of literacy education by providing knowledge about the importance of language and literature that educators can use in their own teaching and advocacy work.

This is 100% correct.

Rissa1 I need this on about 6 t-shirts. Every year we do a week long trip with my husband's friends who don't understand my reading. This is exactly how I feel with them. 2y

How cute are these pjs! I just don‘t know if it is a legitimate company.

Peaceful_Reader Totally agree- this is a big problem. I just cannot order from companies I don‘t recognize! #toomanymistakes 4y
Graciouswarriorprincess @Peaceful_Reader I know. So cute but it‘s just a company that I don‘t know and so no for me. But had to share because they are adorable. 4y

It took these people the addition of M and L to get this. The guy tried “King Arthur and Marian” because King Arthur and Robin Hood are the same thing, right? 🙄 If any of these people were readers, then they might have gotten this before it was just sad and embarrassing. 🤦🏼‍♀️
