Promoting Reading: Using eBooks With Gifted and Advanced Readers

Christine L. Weber and Terence W. Cavanaugh

The book itself is one of the foundations of modern education. But, today there is a new book available to educators, one that integrates new technologies. Today’s technology enhanced book is called an electronic book, or eBook. EBooks are textual documents that have been converted and “published” in an electronic format and are displayed on eBook readers, devices, or computers using eBook software programs. This new form of book is a relatively recent addition to book styles and offers students, teachers, and schools an additional tool for the teaching of reading and the integration of reading into content areas. Using the technology resources of computers and Internet access that are already present in homes, classrooms, and libraries, parents, educators, and students can begin using eBooks with little or no cost.
