I thought we discovered years ago that people retain content better when reading books than when reading e-readers? Nobody could really explain why, but that's what the results showed. I know if I'm using reading to learn new things then I learn it better when reading a book. However, I also know that good videos plus a book is even better. Which is to say I think screens may augment books, but they're not going to replace them.
- NoPicklez 9mo agoThere could be so many reasons for this past just whether we retain more reading on a screen or a page. They aren't reading on e-readers, but usually laptops or tablets that have all manner of distractive apps, messaging services and notifications potentially drawing kids attention away. A book doesn't have a popup that your friend sent you a message, or that you got a new snapchat. Thats just one anecdote I can think of
