We have all heard the phrase “it takes a village,” but perhaps what it really takes is a community.

As a teacher of twenty years, I have witnessed a steady shift away from reading for enjoyment and from holding real books and magazines in our hands. The research is clear: reading from paper is best. Comprehension, retention, and focus are stronger, and even our eyes benefit.
