Reading is Changing
The world we live in today is full of many new things that are changing the way people did things in the past. One thing the digital age has changed is reading actual books. There could be many causes for the decline in reading, but the fact that children do not receive proper education that allows them to be fully literate hinders their ability to be strong readers in their life. In 1910 literacy rates were so high that the government predicted illiteracy was going to disappear in the next hundred years, but rather the rates of literacy have dropped increasingly as we near the hundred year mark. People are no longer able to read as proficiently was they were able to in the past which is affecting our society in many different ways.

I am not sure who your audience is, but I believe your claim is that the digital age and lack of proper education has negatively effected our society by fueling the decrease in literacy. Your claim is argueable, and clearly stated. Your claim is supported by evidence, but I am not sure where the evidence came from. I think you have a good idea of your claim and your paper.
