Reflection On How Children Read Differently From Books vs Screens
According to my perspective, both books and screens are important and beneficial for children's learning process, but learning from the book is better because it's more comfortable for our eyes to focus on books than the screen.
Reading from book build our vocabulary and also reduce stress.
It's not fair to expect parents to navigate this technology, it should be the job of software developers to design electronic books that encourage language and interaction, tailored to a child's development level.
No one will take screens out of children's lives or out of their learning, but we also have to encourage students to read differently and in other ways.
I want to mention professor baron point of view, he said that there are many good reasons to do some of your reading on screen. I think that it has been found that we tend to read faster on-screen and consequently understand less compared to read from paper.
Nowadays, where technology is broadening the way we receive and perceive information, how we read is changing too.
Both printed text and e-book are linear, bounded and fixed, the reading is just a passive recipient of a story a writer has written.
