    I hope this Blog assists teachers in recommending books with characters with whom our students can relate. I also hope this Blog assists in recommending books with multiple realities of the D/deaf human experience. While my primary focus is adolescent and Young Adult chapter books, I will add information about children's literature and adult 'cross-over' texts from time to time. Enjoy, Sharon Pajka-West, Ph.D.

  • 65% of college freshmen read for pleasure for less than an hour per week or not at all
  • The percentage of non-readers among these students has nearly doubled—climbing 18 points since they graduated from high school
  • By the time they become college seniors, one in three students read nothing at all for pleasure in a given week.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Not reading won’t kill you, but it will also make you a less interesting, engaged, and intellectual person
  • reading literature also helps to develop an individual’s emotional literacy
  • Reading about an event or the inner working of someone else’s mind or emotions stimulates the human brain to experience those same feelings or to essentially have the same experience in terms of memory that they would have if they actually did the activity or experienced the emotions themselves
  • The main activity of a college education is critical thinking and intellectual engagement: most of the background work for this endeavor is done through reading
  • Ubiquitous video, or some other information technology, may one day overtake the written word as the foundation of our literacy, but for the moment, reading and writing are the keys to full and fruitful participation in human society

    "Reading is a foundational skill for 21st-century learners. Guiding learners to become engaged and effective users of ideas and information and to appreciate literature requires that they develop as strategic readers who can comprehend, analyze, and evaluate text in both print and digital formats. Learners must also have opportunities to read for enjoyment as well as for information. School library media specialists are in a critical and unique position to partner with other educators to elevate the reading development of our nation's youth."

  • are so mentally invigorating, and require such engagement, they make us smarter
  • neuroscientists have found plenty of proof that reading fiction stimulates all sorts of cognitive areas—not just language regions but also those responsible for coordinating movement and interpreting smells. Because literary books are so mentally invigorating, and require such engagement, they make us smarter than other kinds of reading material, as a 2009 University of Santa Barbara indicated. Researchers found that subjects who read Kafka's "The Country Doctor"—which includes feverish hallucinations from the narrator and surreal elements—performed better on a subsequent learning task than a control group that read a straightforward summary of the story. (They probably enjoyed themselves a lot more while reading, too.)
