Surface Reading and the Decline in Understanding

When reading literary works, people can implement various kinds of methods. These methods range from scanning and skimming to checking only the surface of the work, missing details, and careful reading of the analysis to reveal the meaning of the small details that are usually overlooked . As our society gets faster and faster we only rely on scanning and skimming (surface reading). In addition, this movement is also affected by advances in technology - it can provide audiences with nearly exact duplication of information provided by books, such as TV, Kendall, the Internet in less than half.

In the past few years, it seems that some people are willing to pay for the book no longer. I think that this is a mere decrease of people's reading, as our society seems to be turning into electronic entertainment away from the literacy rate. (It goes without saying that the popularity of on-demand visual entertainment is increasing, but I think the news media will prove my claim right away.) But the continuous decline of readers does not bother me . The price of the Kindle version is up to 99 cents. If possible, it will be cheaper. Maybe 49. However, Kindle Direct does not allow this. The minimum is 99 ¢. This limits the share of my cover price by 35%. I have to sell this book over $ 2.99 and get a cover price of 70% (I will get more in one minute). But I will not sell this children's book in electronic format for $ 2.99! This is too short. People will get angry. I feel that I am depressed myself.

Among the trends we have discovered, a marked decline in measurements may have the greatest negative impact. Reading books and long articles is one of the best ways to learn how to think critically, how to understand complex problems, and how to separate facts from fiction. This is essential to become an information based voter, participating citizen, successful college student, and productive employee.

As reading decreases, reading skills are decreasing as reading progresses. This situation is full of gender, all ages and education levels, people are very busy, they happen because they do not have time to read books that school or work does not need to read for work. This misunderstanding can result in serious consequences and will continue to worsen if you ignore it. We need to pay attention to what is going on in their culture and make sure that it can not be continued. These are explained in Ursula K. Le Guin's article "Keeping a wake" (Awakening).
