Article: Research Says / The Reading Skills
Digital Brains Need
All of this suggests that heavy exposure to digital
technology may be altering how learners think and
read. As University of CaliforniaLos Angeles
developmental psychologist Patricia Greenfield(2009) writes, Every medium develops some
cognitive skills at the expense of others (p. 71).

Plato Said
Two thousand years ago, Plato askedthe same question about the new
technology of his day: literacy.
Reading and writing, he opined,
weakened the mind and destroyed
memory. In some ways, he was right.Psychologists and anthropologists
have since determined that literacy
fundamentally rewires our brains.
It makes us more analytical,
introspective, and abstract thinkers, yetless adept at other things, such as
reciting epic poems from memory.

+Studies have also found that
the mere presence ofhyperlinks in text reduces
reading comprehension, likely
because it breaks up reading
flow and leaves readersfeeling disoriented or lost in
hyperspace.
Even if we ignore thehyperlinks, our brains must
work overtime to determine
whether or not to follow
them.

EduKindle: More Research Says Bigger Fonts Help

Because there are fewer words and those wordsare easier to decode, struggling readers make
substantial progress with comprehension, tracking,
and fluency, all while making fewer decoding
mistakes. Additionally, research shows that fewer
words on the page lower anxiety levelsin
struggling readers.

+Learning to Write and
Writing to LearnBy Joan Sedita
Writing to learn means using writing as a
tool to promote content learning; whenstudents write they think on paper. Content
teachers assign writing activities to help
students learn subject matter, clarify and
organize their thoughts, and improve theirretention of content.
