Sue, I will have to see if I can find the article that comes
to mind, but it has to do with 15 second "bites" children are
exposed to on TV, which essentially renders them unable to
concentrate when reading. The article also links ADD to
excessive TV watching. The floors are being refinished at my
school, so I can't get to my file cabinets. As soon as I can
enter, I will get my hands on the article and send it to you.
I am interested in what books in particular to which you are
referring. Bet
