Abstract
This study examined how the use of digital novels or “vooks” enhances the reading experience. Research was conducted at the household of one of the participants. The study included three elementary level males, and they were informally observed as they participated in reading the digital novel, Skeleton Creek. Data was collected through informal observations, interviews, anonymous questionnaires, and samples of student work. These findings showed that using digital novels when accessible, promotes student interaction, student participation, motivation, and an enhanced reading experience.
