69´«Ã½â€™ reading skills are one of the major predictors of success in school and in careers later in life. And now, technology is shaping how children and adults read more than ever before. That transition from reading print books to reading from computer screens is raising all kinds of questions about how technology is helping students develop better reading skills on one hand and how it is possibly hurting those skills on the other.

For instance, emerging research suggests there might be a generational shift in the benefits and drawbacks of digital reading. Previous studies suggested that print books were far better tools for students to learn from than digital materials, but more recent findings suggest that digital reading might be more suited to the generation of kids who have grown up using computer screens.

Join us to explore how technology is being integrated into reading instruction, with a particular focus on the benefits and drawbacks of using digital tools to help kids learn how to read.
