I love this thinking and have recently taken note of my own behaviors when reading digital text. I do tend to skim and rush which impacts my comprehension. I’m working to be more intentional about using tools to annotate and engage more. Those things happen naturally for me with paper, but I have to work at it on a screen. I’m not team return to paper, but I think you’re onto something by asking the right Qs!

Independent reading during school time (e.g., DEAR) has not had strong research support. New meta-analysis of 47 quasi-exp studies shows modest effects for reading motivation and word recognition, and no effect for comprehension. Article is open-access. https://t.co/iHXN0HSweD
