Strategies for maximum use of digital reading

An increasingly globalized society and the constant progress of technology have expanded the methodologies and tools that allow information to be acquired in a more agile way and generating greater scope. 

The reading digital offers some advantages to the reader, among which we can highlight the diversity of reading materials that can be accessed through a click. It has become an extremely useful resource for students and teachers who are immersed in the distance modality, allowing them to interact, select sections of interest, respond to activities and work collaboratively through the application of certain platforms. 

To make better use of this reading modality, the following strategies are recommended: 

Check words: this action is even easier in digital reading through the one-click word search tool.

Add notes: This option allows you to add a comment or idea that the reader wants to highlight. 

Out loud reading: This tool is useful for those who have a condition or inconvenience that prevents a visual reading. 

Avoid distractors: for example, turning off notifications from social networks, during the time we want to dedicate to reading.

This way of reading allows, among other advantages:

  • Personalization: the devices allow to increase the size of the letters, change their style or highlight them. 
  • Integrated light: reading from a device no longer necessarily requires natural or artificial light, since these have integrated light. 
  • Larger storage capacity: it is possible to save as many books as the memory of the device that we are using for it allows. 
  • More accessible: Digital books generally have a lower cost compared to physical ones. 
  • Ease of transfer: having digital books facilitates their transfer, all through a small device.

Digitization has been transforming society and the way in which people interact, displacing screens, including the oldest media such as printed books.
