Introduction

The emergence of new technology has resulted into new way of reading. Most

people nowadays prefer the e-books. However, this method has myriad of challenges.

When reading from screens the individual is likely to acquire habits like; mental

resources whereby they find it difficult to remember the content learned. They strain a lot

due to various monitors emitting light like LCDs. Popping notifications on the screen

might derail away their attention. Most of them tend to be lazy as the internet has all the

resources giving them less time to think. In the classroom, these habits can be addressed

through the use of learning A-Z. The tool provides lessons and improving vocabulary

among children this will help in reducing time spent reading on the screens. iPads also

aid in learning by providing the instruction as well as the cautions like measures to take

while reading via screens. Reading groups allow the children to critically think and

brainstorm on a certain concept hence minimizing them from reading through the screens

(Montiel et al. 2020). If not addressed the habits can undermine the students score on

benchmark books and passages. When the students are lazy, they will not read the books

fully. Students with impaired vision due to monitor lights will face difficulty reading

from the benchmark books and passages.

Comic books or graphic novels are deemed to be more appealing to students as

compared to other books. They contain real-life practical skills that help in daily life. The

skills are; problem-solving techniques as one can easily solve arising problems (Hermita

et al 2020). Motivation skills especially those who almost give up are motivated to

continue striving hard by the use of funny images. Moreover, the books also provide

literacy skills like building a pool of vocabulary from reading the stories. It builds

confidence in reading English hence able to understand various contexts. Comprehension

skills, ability to understand the comprehensions and interprets them well (ISTIQ'FAROH

2020). A critical way of thing is like problem-solving amongst fellow friends, engaging

in dialogues among others. All these skills will help in boosting my performance in my

area of specialization.
