Response to Articles

The information from these articles did not really have that big of an impact on me. My mother is a librarian and she tells me all the time how she does not see as many older kids come through to read books as they used to. I personally do not like to read for fun. I believe that some people really enjoy it while others cannot sit still long enough to read the first page. I am one of those people. I believe that reading comprehension is very important and a necessity with today's society. Better jobs are being offered to those who can read and write at a more educated level; They are getting higher paid jobs with better hours and working conditions. Writing expectations have gone down over the years which really is only going to hurt our generation in the long run.
