Electronic Reading vs. Paper Book Reading

We have really enjoyed "E" reading each week on our classroom iPads!

So far we have focused on...

• True Flixs
• Book Flixs
• Follett Shelf 
• Kid Rex Safe Searches
• Infobits

Please share your thoughts on "E" reading. What is your favorite text to read? Do you love to read books on Follett Shelf? Do you love the True Flix books? 

Which do you really prefer "E" reading or paper book reading?  

Because of Winn Dixie

"I could feel her listening with all her heart, and it felt good."

Gloria Dump is really turning out to be a lovely friend to Opal. Pleases share your thoughts about their budding friendship.

Also, I really love how the preacher listed 10 things about Opal's mom. For fun, you can experiment making a top 10 list about your mom, yourself or any important person in your life.
Enjoy!
