Science … and 2020 … Prove Print is Essential to Education (freeportpress.com)

A new scientific report is in, affirming what most teachers can probably already tell you: Print is vital for effective education.

“The argument that reading on paper results in deeper comprehension and retention, concentration, vocabulary building and memory has been given immense weight by a groundbreaking new study,” notes this article from Two Sides NA.

“The research examined the results of 54 studies with a total of over 170,000 participants from 19 countries,” the article continues, “and found overwhelming evidence that comprehension of text is much stronger when reading from paper as opposed to a screen, particularly when the reader is under time pressure.”

We’ve shared previous research on this topic — studies have shown that reading on paper is better for comprehension and overall learning — but there was a new twist to this study, named E-READ. The four-year study aimed to discover if students learning from digital devices progressed as rapidly as those learning by reading on paper. The results are clear.

“Students learning from digital devices only progressed one third as much as they would have done had they been reading on paper,” the article notes.
