Is texting killing reading?- NO!Is texting killing reading?- NO!

The ratio of textisms to total words used was positively associated with word reading, vocabulary, and

phonological awareness measures. Moreover, the children's textism use predicted word reading ability after

controlling for individual differences in age, short-term memory, vocabulary, phonological awareness and how

long they had owned a mobile phone. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1348/026151008X320507/full

ie The kids who texted most were the best readers, had the best vocabulary, and were the ones that were most

aware of the need to switch linguistic register according to context.
