Testing the hypothesis

"Online Book Clubs for Preteens and Teens"

By Brianna Emond

We've got the research,now where's the hypothesis?

80%

I've got a couple ideas for this one...

Originality/Value "Online book clubs offer a forum that capitalizes on youths’ familiarity with computers and new literacy practices while staying rooted in traditional practices. Public library online book clubs are sites of possibility – a medium through which libraries can more readily encourage literate practices in younger generations." (p. 176)

Literature Review "It is imperative that researchers begin paying attention to this rising tide in adolescent literacy. And, despite technology’s purported role in the decrease in pleasure reading (National Endowment of the Arts, 2004, 2007), in this ever increasing technological world, online book clubs may offer a convenient and motivating, albeit ironic, forum to renew and inspire a love for books and pleasure reading in preteens and teens as well as provide a bridge to connect both old and new literacy practices."
