I dont think I could disagree more tbh - if children dont read beyond the surface on a topic its because they arent interested in it. Paradoxically if they find something interesting you can find a great depth of material on the Internet.
Perhaps they just need guidance on how to effectively search the net?
Personally I read a lot of scientific papers and the internet is fantastic for these (aside from some paywall issues) - if not for the net I would have to travel to a University library and dig through ancient journals hoping to find the volumes I need.
