Abstract

This article explains the role that e-reading plays in the current digital world. Reading is the process of interpreting written symbols and letters by comprehending at them. The internet has taken the lead in this digital age, and advancements in modern technology have brought about changes in the book industry. Texts are changing drastically because of the advancements in digital technologies. The objective of this study is to outline on e-reading techniques and strategies. Additionally, it sought to increase e-reading retention. According to this study, e-reading has mastery as well as challenges.

Keywords: E-Reading, digital tools, strategies, pros and cons of digital content.

The process of reading is to construct meaning from texts using a variety of methods for finding, combining, and to transmit information (Lopatovska and Sessions). Word recognition, orthography (spelling), alphabetic, phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and motivation are all components of this varied process. The process of understanding the meaning or sense of symbols—often those of a written language—is known as reading. Although reading aloud to others or to oneself for improved comprehension is sometimes done, it is mostly a solitary practice that is done in silence.

Acquiring and practicing the abilities required to comprehend the meaning of written words is known as learning to read or reading skills acquisition. A proficient reader finds reading to be easy, natural, and instinctive. But learning to read is a complicated process that builds on social, linguistic, and cognitive abilities that are formed from a very young age. Reading is essential to master written language since it is one of the four fundamental language skills - speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Digital reading, as defined by Lim and Toh, is the process of learning from texts that are accessible on tablets or other devices. Reading a book or article on an electronic device, such as a tablet, smartphone, or eBook, is known as digital reading. Books can be accessed in PDF, HTML, or ePUB formats. Electronic reading has become the new standard in the era of the internet. The contemporary counterpart of turning pages is e-reading, in which we interact with words on electronic screens rather than paper and ink. It's the flawless transition from print to digital books.
