Edition8 Magazine will launch its campaign, “Read Every Word,” in August 2022, just in time for the 2022-2023 school year, to encourage more reading amongst young people ages 14-25.
Most young people spend about six to nine hours texting, using social media, and watching TV* compared to the mere 20 minutes per day that they may spend reading content outside of their school work.
The “Read Every Word” campaign discourages “skimming” and quick reads of reading material and encourages reading every word for a close reading. Close reading promotes focus and clarity to obtain a deeper knowledge and richer understanding of a subject/topic, as well as a keen observation of facts and details for one’s own interests and research.
Edition8 Magazine offers a unique range of informative, entertaining, and inspir8tional content to keep its readers interested and engaged for at least 30 minutes per day every month.
Schools, organizations and other educational institutions should email subscriptions@alacomedia.com if interested in Edition8 Magazine’s “Read Every Word” campaign for their students.

Edition8 Magazine has launched its book club for the months of August 2022 – December 2022.
With all of the digital content made accessible via the internet at any point in time throughout the day, a simple way to stay grounded and informed is by picking up a copy of a printed book.
Young people are most likely to read books in any format including e-books, audio books, and printed books. But 65% of Americans still prefer to interact with the traditionally printed book format, according to the Pew Research Center.
Since the pandemic, there has been a 35% increase in overall in-home media consumption with 25% attributed to book reading. The average American reads about 20 minutes per day up from just 8 minutes before the pandemic, according to www.statista.com.
Edition8 strives to keep that momentum going with the launch of its monthly book club.
·Reading develops critical thinking and problem solving skills.
·Reading increases articulate participation in discussions.
·Reading boosts confidence in reading, writing, and communication.
Patrons can sign up and participate in book club monthly discussions at https://www.edition-8.com.
