Click on the image above to read the interesting article about how reading on screen changes how we read. Many researchers are saying that  reading onscreen encourages non linear reading - basically skimming. I must admit I  had to make a conscious effort to read the article deeply  and not skim! It is a basic  summary of research done that  focuses on  reading on screens and includes the attitudes we bring, fatigue and our culture of technology use. It also includes information on the reading brain and how we learn to read and decode.
