Background knowledge of video games helps students succeed in understanding and enjoying game-based texts, which she incorporates into her classroom library as encouragement for a habit of reading and as a bridge to increasingly difficult texts. Jolley also offers an overview of popular game-based texts. (Contains 3 figures.)
