Reader, Come Home

By Maryanne Wolf

 

This book covers how are brain is changing as our world becomes digital. We are loosing our reflective, deep reading & deep focus skills. We are learning to skim everything. To let our attention float.

 

Much of this book covers the research behind the above idea. It outlines a plan to let childing develop bi-model reading skills. Skills that allow them to focus & read deeply on digital devices.

 

We read different on digital devices. Perhaps because the screen primes us to skim and to hunt for notifications.

 

There is something deeply good for us to take time away from digital devices, to tak time away from endless entertainment, and to spend your time focusing, reflecting and reading a good book.
