-Why would I want to read the text on my own time?
Reading on your own will help you become a better reader and writer in less time than students who only read at school.  The online texts are a great resource for you if you don't understand the text in class or would simply like to read the extra selections that we are not using in class.  Remember, you can press play and hear the text read aloud for you while you follow along.
