Capstone
My capstone project, "The effect of electronic book use on reading enjoyment and comprehension in 4th grade students at an urban public school,” represents months of research into a topic of particular importance to me as a school librarian. I have become fascinated with the use of electronic books and observe their being used, whether at school by students or in public by adults. I think the medium offers significant benefits to young children and struggling readers, but the eBook industry is still developing, lacking both production standards and common formats. I would like to continue research into eBook use by older elementary students.
