Abstract
With the improvement in reading technology and greater access to devices, the perennial question that haunts policymakers and educators is whether print is still relevant in today’s educational context. Furthermore, with the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 study reporting that teens read less and enjoy reading less compared to previous cohorts, it is vital to consider whether print or digital books can better engage our students in reading for pleasure (OECD, 2019).In this article, I explain why print still matters and how it matters to cultivate students’ reading for pleasure.
