social reading

Social reading is a way of engaging with texts that involves sharing insights, annotations, and discussions with others, often through digital platforms. It transforms reading from a solitary activity into a collaborative experience, allowing readers to see each other's comments, highlights, and perspectives in real-time or asynchronously. This approach fosters community, enhances understanding through diverse viewpoints, and can motivate deeper engagement with the material. Social reading tools are typically integrated into e-books or online articles, making it easier to connect and communicate around shared interests and texts.
