How We Read Now: Strategic Choices for Print, Screen, and Audio - Naomi S. Baron

Descriere How We Read Now: Strategic Choices for Print, Screen, and Audio - Naomi S. Baron

\nAn engaging and authoritative guide to the impact of reading medium on learning, from a foremost expert in the field \nWe face constant choices about how we read. Educators must select classroom materials. College students weigh their textbook options. Parents make decisions for their children. The digital revolution has transformed reading, and with the recent turn to remote learning, onscreen reading may seem like \nthe only viable option. Yet selecting digital is often based on cost or convenience, not on educational evidence. Now more than ever it is imperative to understand how reading medium actually impacts learning--and what strategies we need in order to read effectively in all formats. \n \nIn How We Read Now, Naomi Baron draws on a wealth of knowledge and research to explain important differences in the way we concentrate, understand, and remember across multiple formats. Mobilizing work from international scholarship along with findings from her own studies of reading practices, \nBaron addresses key challenges--from student complaints that print is boring to the hazards of digital reading for critical thinking. Rather than arguing for one format over another, she explains how we read and learn in different settings, shedding new light on the current state of reading. The \nbook then crucially connects research insights to concrete applications, offering practical approaches for maximizing learning with print, digital text, audio, and video. \n \nSince screens and audio are now entrenched--and invaluable-platforms for reading, we need to rethink ways of helping readers at all stages use them more wisely. How We Read Now shows us how to do that. \n\n
