Some people believe online reading materials should only be used for a child to learn to read whereas others believe only printed material should be used. Discuss both views and give your opinion

In the contemporary world, teaching methodologies are always evolving to maximise its efficacy. While some people believe in an exclusive net based approach towards reading, others disagree; firmly advocating printed materials for successful learning. In my opinion, both of them ought to be used interchangeably for an ideal outcome.  On the one hand, there is a lot of positivity involved with online learning.

of favouring one methodology over another, both online and net-based approaches should be incorporated together. As a blend of two, can result in a more effective learning experience for the child.
