StoryTubes and You:Online Kids’ Booktalks @ Your
Library
Or, “Recipes for the Digital Shelf”
What is StoryTubes?•An annual contest.•An opportunity for students to promote favorite books in two-minute videos.•Open to English-speaking kids and teens everywhere.•Individual entries and group entries are welcome.•Online voting for video entries encourages participation and excitement.
Why do we do StoryTubes?“…We need to change this notion that reading is a chore.” ----James Patterson
Kids & Reading• A majority of kids say they like to read books for fun
and that reading books for fun is important.
• Most kids perceive a correlation between reading and success.
Kids & Reading• Reading frequency declines after age eight and is
stronger among girls than boys.
• Trouble finding books they like is a key reason kids say they do not read more frequently.
Technology & Reading
• Kids believe that technology will complement — not replace — book reading.
• After age eight, more children go online daily than read for fun daily; however, high frequency Internet users are still more likely than lower frequency users to
read books for fun every day.
Nearly two in three online tweens and teens (age 9-17) have extended the reading experience via the Internet. These kids are more likely to value and enjoy reading, read more frequently, and agree with the statement: “No matter what I can do online, I’ll always want to read books printed on paper.”
