Online reading is popular among today’s younger population, particularly post the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, they are reading e-books, podcasts, WhatsApp forwards, and other text-based content. Compared to our analogue period, the reading they perform digitally might cover a larger word count. Even though they are reading, they are doing it superficially and irresponsibly, which is hazardous, hence there is a decrease in serious reading, which results in complex text interpretation, I believe that reading at a higher level is crucial. Critical and thoughtful reading is drastically declining as a result of the short attention span needed for digital reading. It can occasionally be a non-strategic, non-goal reading.
When one reads for enjoyment, motivation, emotional reactions, inspiration, frustration, inventiveness, and other psychological processes are all involved. Reading at a higher level broadens one’s horizons mentally and improves vocabulary, two things that many young people nowadays regretfully lack, because of conspiracies, false information, fake news, and deception, our ability to make democratic decisions is hindered in the modern day. To be capable of critically analysing the world around us, we must arm ourselves. The information gained from close reading is what leads to that. Inexperienced readers are more susceptible to scams and misleading communications. The basis for individual emancipation and empowerment is reading comprehension.
Resilient readers are necessary for a healthy society. Given the importance of reading for participation in social, cultural, and political spheres, it is imperative that reading habits be encouraged in future schooling. The future belongs to the kids of today. Without future writers and readers, literacy will vanish. Inspire the upcoming generation to read.
