A new study out of Canada found that higher screen time in elementary school is linked to lower reading and math scores. And the more researchers dig, the more concerning the pattern becomes.
In this episode, we break down what the research is saying about screens in schools, including:
why even "educational" technology may not improve outcomes
how digital reading compares to print reading for comprehension
what brain studies are revealing about learning on screens vs. paper
why handwriting still matters more than we think
And most importantly…
What does this mean for speech/language therapy?For our struggling learners, it may be possible that simply switching your therapy activities from screen-based to paper-based could give them a major advantage.
This episode will help you understand the research and give you a simple, practical way to test it in your own speech room, starting tomorrow.
