Reading on screens is here to stay. How has reading on digital mediums altered our reading brains and reading patterns, in comparison to reading a print book? Much research has been published by reading experts and thinkers in helping us understand and mitigate the effects of digital medium on reading. Specifically, we have gained insights into how digital mediums have affected our attention spans, the way we read and how long we read. 

With the ubiquity of digital devices, recent research on reading has called for equipping ourselves, and especially the young, in learning how to use and read effectively on both the digital and print medium.

These resources provide insights into how our reading has changed with our devices, and how to cultivate a sustained reading habit in the digital age.
