About this ebook
Readers of all ages, especially those in school, use learning materials in print, on digital screens, and increasingly with audio. While the words may be the same, research shows important differences in the way we concentrate, understand, and remember with these three media. In How We Read Now, linguist and reading expert Naomi Baron presents cutting-edge research on reading media and offers practical strategies for maximizing success with each format.
