    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

    Kids Read

    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.
