A travel book. In the steamy globe-trotting romance novel, Flicka's LOVERS, Flicka travels to Japan, China, Thailand, Paris, Germany, Los Angeles, and Vancouver. She gets around other places, too. This backdrop is Paleochora, Greece. #travel #fun #novel #novels #books #bookstodon #booksky #Readers #reading #readingCommunity #people #places #world #destinations #globe #fiction #romance #romanceReaders #romancelandia #marissa #book #booktok #writer #author

In our latest study, we examined how Finnish children read and integrate information across multiple expository texts when given an inquiry task. We were interested in how task-relevance of text information affects readers' eye movements and whether the eye movements are connected to the quality of an essay written after reading. We were also interested in differentiating between the effects of technical reading skill and reading comprehension in respect to these processes. In total, 24 fifth and sixth grade Finnish native-speakers completed the experiment. Prior to testing, the participants were told that at the end of the testing session, they would have to complete an inquiry task (e.g., “What's the difference between human and dog hearing?”). During an eye tracking experiment, the participants read two science texts on the topic of the inquiry task. The texts contained both task-relevant and task-irrelevant text segments. After the reading task, the children wrote an essay to complete the inquiry task. Furthermore, participants' technical reading skill and reading comprehension were measured with an independent classroom test. It was shown that the task-relevant segments were read longer than the task-irrelevant segments during first-pass reading. Moreover, reading skills modulated the effect of relevance, as weaker comprehenders were less likely to regress within an irrelevant segment. Furthermore, the relevance effect was more pronounced for the better technical readers with respect to look-backs. No reliable effects were found for the essay-writing task. The results imply that the participants were able to detect which parts of the text were relevant and adjusted their reading accordingly, based on their reading skills. However, they did not seem to form a coherent memory representation of the relevant text contents in order to perform well in the essay writing task. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sjop.70099 #reading #MultipleTextComprehension #EyeTracking #relevance

👩‍💻​ My So Called Sudo Life: Jailbroken Kindle edition 📖​ If you followed my #Jailbreaking adventures this past week, I'd like to add a final chapter on the positive effect it had on my reading habits. Long story short: I used to be an avid reader and I had sadly lost the habit of reading books in the last couple of years (blaming tiredness at the end of the day). I had been looking for a system to encourage me to get back on track. When I found out about #KOreader and #SimpleUI I was totally smitten: an elegant interface that kept track of my reading stats? Sign me up! In the photo I've attached you can see my reading stats for the past week - aka since I started using KOreader and SimpleUI. If you don't want to squint / find it harder to read: my daily reading average is about 40 minutes. Not bad! I'm just absolutely delighted by this. #KindleJailbreak #reading #books #habits #MySoCalledSudoLife

While reading Murakami’s “The City and its Uncertain Walls” I came across a weird symbol near the spine on page 38. Part of me knows it’s a print artifact, but another hopes it’s more: a mystery; a gateway; a sign. Yeah, that’s how deeply I read. #Writing #WritingCommunity #Reading

It may sound weird but I think Tom King’s ‘Rorschach’ run might work because it has so little to do with ‘Watchmen’. At its heart it’s a 70s style political thriller; the nameless protagonist investigates an attempted political candidate on behalf of the campaign that doesn’t trusts the FBI learning about the would be assassins lives and fringe beliefs. It’s just that those beliefs center around space squids and they chose to wear a Rorschach mask when doing the deed that narratively links it to ‘Watchmen’ and those would be easy details to swap out Thematically it feels a lot like ‘Watchmen’, a cynical exploration of politics and the meaning of super-heroics. It feels like King gets it more than most people who quote Ozymandias. #Reading #Comics

You must be Sarah. Phoenix mentioned you. Said you're the philosopher of the group, she said. Phoenix is generous with titles, Sarah said with a smirk. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-we-practice-for #trans #queer #lgbtqia #fiction #reading #writing #author

Leila claimed the end of a middle row, phone face-down for once — a concession so radical it constituted its own form of ceremony. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-we-practice-for #trans #queer #lgbtqia #fiction #reading #writing #author
