“THE FIRST HURDLE: RESEARCH ON IMPACT
There is precious little research comparing how different mediums affect learning to read in students who have individual differences—the thousands who are failing. The seriousness of the current reality means that at the present rate, the majority of eighth-grade children could be classified as functionally illiterate in a few years' time. They will read, but they will not read proficiently or think and feel sufficiently about what they read.
The hybrid approach to the building of a biliterate brain needs to be far more carefully developed for grades K-12 with these nonproficient children in the center of our sights.”
