“…Adolescent readers find their reading materials by talking to peers and getting information about books from online communities. This social life around books can be replicated by teachers infusing social activities such as recommendations, reading circles, or book clubs into classroom reading (Bromley et al., ). Technology can also be used to amplify students’ interest in reading and books.…”

Does print still matter in this digital age? What is the role of technology in reading? Do adolescents who enjoy reading view the reading of print and digital material differently from those who do not enjoy reading? Drawing on survey data from 6,005 students and focus group data with 96 students across six secondary schools, the authors conducted a mixed‐methods study to examine adolescents’ print and digital reading habits in Singapore. Findings show that adolescents prefer print but move toward more online reading as they get older. Adolescents’ online reading habits are reflective of their print preferences and behavior with physical books. The authors explain how both print and technology matter to motivate adolescent reading.

“…However, they also noted that with well-planned instructional experiences, it is possible to change their views on reading, and it is never too late for this. It has been observed in the literature that many programs implemented have achieved a remarkable level of success in increasing teachers' and pre-service teachers' interest in reading (Bromley et al, 2014;Burbank et al, 2010;Flood & Lapp, 1994).…”

This study explores the impact extended participation in literature circles had on the reading attitudes of university-age preservice teachers following their involvement in literature circles for one academic year, as part of their training. The participants of the study consisted of 21 pre-service teachers with a low or moderate level of reading habits and reading attitudes. The research was conducted through a mixed methods approach. Although both quantitative and qualitative data were collected in the study, particular emphasis was given to the data collected from the qualitative part (quan+QUAL). In line with the quantitative data, it was concluded in the study that extended involvement in the literature circles had a positive effect on the reading attitudes of the pre-service teachers. The qualitative data, which was obtained through interviews, revealed four themes. The themes emerged as love and desire for reading, benefits of reading, importance of reading and reading habits as a result of the analysis. The results obtained from the research are important in terms of contributing to the improvement of pre-service teachers who will play important roles in Turkey's becoming a literate society.

“…With the recent works highlighting the power of technology-enhanced shared reading, it is very likely that MLT can be escalated to further support KCE. Previous studies have portrayed that technology in shared reading aids in scaffolding critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and high literacy connected to the other language domains (see Bromley et al, 2014;Gill & Islam, 2011, for example). Inasmuch as 4Cs approach to reading accords teachers with flexibility in involving various collaborative learning and technologies, MLT is supposed to be equally contributive to KCE and positively influential to other facets of multidimensional learning.…”

The omnipresence of 4Cs at tertiary education has shifted the attention of language classroom teachings toward the mastery of multifaceted intelligences. Resultant teaching praxis subsequently calls forth students’ high literacy, which affects the nature and extent of success and failure. This study strived to scrutinize how the 4Cs approach in Reading courses scaffolds students’ multidimensional 21st-century learning competencies. Data were collected through online survey and focus group discussion, with deductive and inductive content analysis subsequently operative. The findings have shed lights on how 4Cs-based reading instructions help teachers to create learning environment commensurate with the demand of 21st-century learning, which aids students’ learning in gaining metacognitive tools for high literacy. With clear framework of collaborative work and scaffolding, teachers can trigger and further direct students’ achievement goals and social goals towards high literacy.
