An engaging and authoritative guide to the impact of reading medium on learning, from a foremost expert in the field

We face constant choices about how we read. Educators must select classroom materials. College students weigh their textbook options. Parents make decisions for their children. The digital revolution has transformed reading, and with the recent turn to remote learning, onscreen reading may seem like the only viable option. Yet selecting digital is often based on cost or convenience, not on educational evidence. Now more than ever it is imperative to understand how reading medium actually impacts learning--and what strategies we need in order to read effectively in all formats.

In How We Read Now, Naomi Baron draws on a wealth of knowledge and research to explain important differences in the way we concentrate, understand, and remember across multiple formats. Mobilizing work from international scholarship along with findings from her own studies of reading practices, Baron addresses key challenges--from student complaints that print is boring to the hazards of digital reading for critical thinking. Rather than arguing for one format over another, she explains how we read and learn in different settings, shedding new light on the current state of reading. The book then crucially connects research insights to concrete applications, offering practical approaches for maximizing learning with print, digital text, audio, and video.

Since screens and audio are now entrenched--and invaluable-platforms for reading, we need to rethink ways of helping readers at all stages use them more wisely. How We Read Now shows us how to do that.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Baron's work provides a weighted and critical description of printed and digital environments from an educational point of view, focusing on those factors of improvement that each of them entails. One of its main contributions is the introduction of audio and video analysis as complementary forms of reading that are becoming more and more important as the platforms for their use expand, and the services offered increase." -- José Antonio Cordón, University of Salamanca, Escola de Llibreria

"Beyond being eminently readable, How We Read Now is also inspiring in terms of design. Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, and professionals; general readers." -- P. Finley, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, CHOICE

"A well-researched, accessible treatise on all the ways we experience and absorb words... Educating tomorrowâs generations is of urgent importance to all of us, and for that reason, How We Read Now is must reading. Baron does not prescribe particular reading platforms, but rather enables us to better assess all the possibilities... Baron's light, conversational style makes for enjoyable reading - whether in print or on a screen. " -- Bárbara Mujica, Washington Independent Review of Books

"How We Read Now is a wonderful guide to the complicated landscape where our minds meet the written word; it helps us understand how we read, how we learn, and how we navigate a changing world of text, information, stories, and connection, for ourselves and for our children." --Perri Klass, Professor of Journalism and Pediatrics, New York University, and author A Good Time to Be Born

"Naomi Baron has done a huge service to everyone involved in the study, teaching, and practice of reading-which means all of us. Written in a friendly and informal style, with well-placed signposts and summaries, her succinct synthesis of research findings provides a wealth of timely and relevant advice for policy-makers, teachers, students, parents, and children." --David Crystal, Honorary Professor of Linguistics, Bangor University, and author of Let's Talk

"Naomi Baron has done it again. She has enticed us to take a long, hard look at reading in this technological age. How We Read Now brings the advantages and disadvantages of each medium into the light, and guides us on what, when, or why to read in one medium or another. This eye-opening book is truly a 'must read' for educators, parents, and students." --Patricia Alexander, Distinguished University Professor, University of Maryland

"Dr. Baron clearly synthesizes the issues surrounding how we read from printed and screen texts. Everyone needs to read this book." --Larry D. Rosen, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, California State University, Dominguez Hills, and co-author of The Distracted Mind

"Naomi Baron expertly presents the latest research on the cognitive and behavioral facets of 'reading to learn' in multiple formats. She offers an accessible translation of points and strategies for policymakers and educators, including parents, to consider for readers at all levels. This book is essential reading in a time of transition to digital publishing." --Diane Mizrachi, UCLA Library, and Alicia Salaz, Carnegie Mellon University Libraries

This book really helps educators understand what learners are reading and where they're learning...and not learning...and how that's changing in the last few years and especially since the pandemic began so it's very timely!

I thought this was a book about how to improve your reading style. It's more of a book for teachers trying to teach students to learn to read. So if you want a teacher, probably has limited use to you.

Traz um texto para leigos mas com incontáveis referências acadêmicas de diversos estudos. Tenta equilibrar a discussão entre leitura digital e impressa, identificando o lado positivo e negativo de cada uma. Inclui também a questão dos áudios, como no caso de audiobooks.
