Everyone's blaming phones and screens for the literacy crisis—but what if we've been asking the wrong question? This essay challenges the myths from Maryanne Wolf, Mark Manson, and Jonathan Haidt, showing how audiobooks and audio-first learning can unlock real focus, comprehension, and deep thinking—especially for dyslexic and neurodivergent learners. If I taught myself to read with this method, others can too.

Auch wenn es nicht en vogue ist, die eigene Verletzlichkeit zu zeigen, es kann uns auf magische Weise mit anderen Menschen verbinden. Genau das ist Alexandra kürzlich passiert und sie reflektiert, wie sie schon immer sehr verletzlich war, und warum das keine Schwäche ist, sondern eine Stärke. Klar: Auch die Verletzlichkeit kann, wenn ihre Zurschaustellung nur ein Mittel zum Zweck ist, manipulativ eingesetzt werden. Viel häufiger aber wird sie noch immer versteckt. Leider.Immer mehr Kinder tun sich schwer damit und Professor*innen in den USA reagieren bereits darauf: Das Lesen kommt uns als Gesellschaft abhanden. Das ist die große Sorge von Maryanne Wolf. Sie forscht zum lesenden Gehirn und hat bei sich selbst beobachtet: Sie schafft es nicht mehr, ihr frühreres Lieblingsbuch zu lesen! Auch Katrin beobachtet an sich und der Generation ihrer Kinder, wie uns das Lesen immer schwerer fällt. Dabei, davon ist sie überzeugt, ist es eine wichtige Kulturtechnik in Zeiten abnehmender Empathie.Shownotes:Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present: https://youtu.be/JDcrShtp2Ug?si=zIAv9v0GuzDDlEHmMarina Abramovic: Rhythm Zero: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/sep/25/marina-abramovics-shocking-rhythm-0-performance-shows-why-we-still-cannot-trust-people-in-powerMaryanne Wolf: Schnelles Lesen, langsames LesenThe Atlantic: How Lucy Calkins Became the Scapegoat for America's Reading CrisisNicht vergessen: Anekdotisch evident braucht eure Unterstützung!

AI has upended schooling as we know it. Students now have instant access to tools that can write their essays, summarize entire books, and solve complex math problems. Whether they want to or not, many feel pressured to use these tools just to keep up. Teachers, meanwhile, are left questioning how to evaluate student performance and whether the whole idea of assignments and grading still makes sense. The old model of education suddenly feels broken.So what comes next?In this episode, Daniel and Tristan sit down with cognitive neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf and global education expert Rebecca Winthrop—two lifelong educators who have spent decades thinking about how children learn and how technology reshapes the classroom. Together, they explore how AI is shaking the very purpose of school to its core, why the promise of previous classroom tech failed to deliver, and how we might seize this moment to design a more human-centered, curiosity-driven future for learning.Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

Ever busted a money laundering ring with a two-minute hunch? I did—at a bank in 2003—because dyslexia forced me to think differently. I couldn't read growing up, but audiobooks, grit, and a forgotten science called dual coding turned me into a pattern-spotting machine. Now, I've logged thousands of hours with audiobooks —2x, 3x speed—plus gigs of audio and shelves of marked-up books, out-talking PhDs with insight, not just facts. This is my protocol: audio first, text after, speed it up, reread, fight for it. It's how I aced tests, caught crooks, and proved the doubters wrong. Maryanne Wolf says we're losing deep reading—I say we can reclaim it. Want to go from illiterate to unstoppable? Listen up—I'm Almighty Ohm, and this is my edge.

In this solo episode, Jana opens by sharing her heartfelt concern for those affected by the devastating wildfires in Southern California. With family in the impacted areas, she offers her empathy and support to everyone navigating this tragedy.Shifting the focus, Jana dives into the importance of finding passion and inspiration in one's work. She reflects on her own transformative journey, describing how she moved from a life fueled by dissatisfaction to one driven by purpose and joy—even though it required embracing greater risks and vulnerabilities.Along the way, Jana also shares the pivotal role that administrative support has played in her business. By delegating tasks like managing the intake process, she's been able to increase her productivity while reducing the stress of constantly monitoring leads and phone calls. She highlights the importance of creating standard operating procedures (SOPs) to maintain consistency, particularly when transitioning between support staff.Finally, Jana recommends two insightful books: Reader, Come Home by Maryanne Wolf and The Collapse of Parenting by Dr. Leonard Sax. These recommendations reflect her dedication to personal growth and professional development.

Many social media posts and articles highlight well-known myths about dyslexia, and that information has been disseminated well. However, there are additional myths, when it comes to dyslexia, that deserve a more robust discussion. In this episode, we're exploring seven lesser-known myths about dyslexia.

Teachers in many English classes across America are having students read fewer full-length books. 美国许多英语课堂的老师都在减少学生阅读长篇书籍的数量。 Recently, the Associated Press explored the issue in education. 近日，美联社就教育问题进行了探讨。 It reports that students instead are given only short parts of books. Educators said this is because they believe current students have shorter attention spans than those of the past. The teachers might feel pressure to prepare students for state and nationwide examinations know as standardized tests. They also might believe that short pieces of writing will help students in the modern, digital world. 据报道，学生只获得了书籍的一小部分。教育工作者表示，这是因为他们认为现在的学生的注意力持续时间比过去的学生要短。教师可能会感到压力，让学生准备国家和全国性考试（称为标准化考试）。他们还可能认为短篇写作将对现代数字世界的学生有所帮助。 The National Council of Teachers of English is a professional organization for teachers based in Champaign, Illinois. In 2022, the group released a statement about reading. “The time has come to decenter book reading and essay-writing as the pinnacles of English language arts education,” the group said. 全国英语教师委员会是一个位于伊利诺伊州尚佩恩的教师专业组织。2022年，该组织发布了一份关于阅读的声明。该组织表示：“现在是时候将书籍阅读和论文写作作为英语语言艺术教育的顶峰了。” Seth French helped write the statement. He said the idea was not to remove books but to teach media literacy and have students read things in which they are interested. French taught an English class before becoming a dean at Bentonville High School in the state of Arkansas. He had students read plays, poetry and articles but only one book as a class. 塞思·弗伦奇帮助撰写了这份声明。他说，这个想法不是要删除书籍，而是要教授媒体素养，让学生阅读他们感兴趣的东西。在成为阿肯色州本顿维尔高中的院长之前，弗伦奇曾教过英语课。他让学生读戏剧、诗歌和文章，但一堂课只读一本书。 He said, “A lot of our students are not interested in some of these texts that they didn't have a choice in.” 他说：“我们的很多学生对其中一些他们无法选择的文本不感兴趣。”Not everyone thinks English reading should involve only short, digital pieces of writing.并非所有人都认为英语阅读应该只涉及简短的数字写作。Maryanne Wolf studies the human brain at UCLA in Southern California. Wolf said deep reading is important to strengthen connections in the brain tied to critical thinking skills, background knowledge and empathy. 玛丽安·沃尔夫在南加州加州大学洛杉矶分校研究人类大脑。沃尔夫表示，深度阅读对于加强大脑中与批判性思维技能、背景知识和同理心相关的联系非常重要。She said educators must give students a chance to learn through what she described as “immersion into the lives and thoughts of others.” 她说，教育工作者必须给学生一个机会，让他们通过她所说的“沉浸在他人的生活和思想中”来学习。There is not a lot of information on how many books American students are required to read in school. But in general, students are reading less. 关于美国学生在学校需要阅读多少本书的信息并不多。但总体而言，学生的阅读量较少。 Federal data from last year shows 14 percent of young people said they read for fun every day. In 2012, that percentage was 27 percent. 去年的联邦数据显示，14% 的年轻人表示他们每天都以阅读为乐趣。2012 年，这一比例为 27%。 Some teachers say reduced reading has its roots in the COVID-19 crisis. 一些教师表示，阅读量减少的根源在于 COVID-19 危机。 Kristy Acevedo teaches English at a vocational high school in New Bedford, Massachusetts. 克里斯蒂·阿塞维多在马萨诸塞州新贝德福德的一所职业高中教授英语。

Episode 55: Reading Fluency with Maryanne Wolf and guest host Ben Powers

At its best, reading is a portal to new worlds and new ideas. But a lot can get in the way — up to 20% of the population experiences symptoms of dyslexia, a lifelong neurological disorder that makes it difficult to read fluently. An author who learned to read when he was 18 and a dyslexia scholar help Anita understand how reading develops in the brain and what's at stake if dyslexic learners are left by the wayside.Meet the guests:- Dr. Shawn Robinson is an entrepreneur, consultant and author of the graphic novel series “Doctor Dyslexia Dude!”- Dr. Maryanne Wolf is the director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners and Social Justice at UCLA in the School of Education and Information StudiesA special thank you to Eso Romero for contributing her insights as a teacher of dyslexic students to this episode!Read the transcript | Review the podcast on your preferred platformFollow Embodied on X and Instagram Leave a message for Embodied

  Host Curtis Chang and award-winning author Jessica Hooten Wilson, the Fletcher Jones Chair of Great Books at Pepperdine University, discuss the decline of deep reading and how this might impact our lives. Hooten Wilson explains the significant benefits that listeners can experience by thoughtfully re-engaging with books as a regular practice. The conversation explores how deep reading can help individuals cultivate contemplation, love their neighbors, practice humility, and other aspects of deep spiritual growth.    Bring The After Party course to your church or small group!    Listen to Songs For the After Party, get sheet music, lyrics, and prayers for your church   Donate to Redeeming Babel HERE   Follow Jessica Hooten Wilson's work   Order Jessica Hooten Wilson's latest book: Flannery O'Connor's Why Do the Heathen Rage?: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at a Work in Progress   Order Jessica Hooten Wilson's book: Reading for the Love of God How to Read as a Spiritual Practice   REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE:   The Daily Office Online   Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World by Maryanne Wolf 

Maryanne Wolf is a cognitive neuroscientist who conducts research on “what the brain does when it reads and why some children and adults have greater difficulty learning how to read than others”. She has written some fascinating books including “Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain” and “Reader come home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World”. In this podcast Prof Wolf speaks passionately on reading and why, among other things, it needs to be introduced to kids early in their lives. And as adults, what can we do to rewire our brain circuits that may have been frayed with the advent of digital media.

Send Me a Text Message with Your QuestionsIn this episode, I'll introduce you to Maryanne Wolf's insightful book, "Reader Come Home," which is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to improve their reading skills. I'll also share a simple yet effective two-week exercise to help you focus better while reading.

NO READING REQUIRED! Kimberly lays out a very persuasive argument for why reading is REALLY GOOD for you. Featuring wisdom from Virginia Woolf (and Maryanne Wolf), Jia Tolentino, Lydia Davis and Vladimir Nabokov, the lecture will give you all the rationale you need to read a LOT MORE THIS YEAR.

More discussion about reading - and other devices, as we listen to more thoughts from Maryanne Wolf. Then, we cover a story of a Danbury non-profit seeking to operate a 66 room motel as a homeless shelter - and social disintigration in general - with Chris Powell.

We play RANTS and talk more about Maryanne Wolf's ideas on reading. Then, Mike Liebowitz is arguably the state's leading public intellectual. He spreads his wisdom as host of the Rational Egoist podcast - and joins us most weeks at this time. We discuss free speech, Elon Musk and Alex Jones.

Every day, we consume a mind-boggling amount of information. We scan online news articles, sift through text messages and emails, scroll through our social-media feeds — and that's usually before we even get out of bed in the morning. In 2009, a team of researchers found that the average American consumed about 34 gigabytes of information a day. Undoubtedly, that number would be even higher today.But what are we actually getting from this huge influx of information? How is it affecting our memories, our attention spans, our ability to think? What might this mean for today's children, and future generations? And what does it take to read — and think — deeply in a world so flooded with constant input?Maryanne Wolf is a researcher and scholar at U.C.L.A.'s School of Education and Information Studies. Her books “Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain” and “Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World” explore the relationship between the process of reading and the neuroscience of the brain. And, in Wolf's view, our era of information overload represents a historical inflection point where our ability to read — truly, deeply read, not just scan or scroll — hangs in the balance.In this conversation, recorded in November 2022, we discuss why reading is a fundamentally “unnatural” act, how scanning and scrolling differ from “deep reading,” why it's not accurate to say that “reading” is just one thing, how our brains process information differently when we're reading on a Kindle or a laptop as opposed to a physical book, how exposure to such an abundance of information is rewiring our brains and reshaping our society, how to rediscover the lost art of reading books deeply, what Wolf recommends to those of us who struggle against digital distractions, what parents can do to to protect their children's attention, how Wolf's theory of a “biliterate brain” may save our species' ability to deeply process language and information and more.We'll be back on Friday, Dec. 1, with a new episode.Mentioned:The Glass Bead Game (Magister Ludi) by Hermann HesseHow We Read Now by Naomi S.

In this episode, we talk to Dr. Maryanne Wolf about 'the reading brain' - that is, what happens in our brains when we read. She offers a definition of reading fluency, explains the various cognitive processes involved in fluent reading, and describes the key benefit of reading fluency: deep reading. Maryanne Wolf is a scholar, a teacher, and an advocate for children and literacy around the world. She is the Director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners, and Social Justice at the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies. Previously she was the John DiBiaggio Professor of Citizenship and Public Service and Director of the Center for Reading and Language Research in the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Study and Human Development at Tufts University. She is the author of more than 160 scientific articles, she designed the RAVE-O reading intervention for children with dyslexia, and with Martha Denckla, co-authored the RAN/RAS naming speed tests, a major predictor of dyslexia across all languages. At a more popular level, she is the author of Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain (2007, HarperCollins) and Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World (August, 2018, HarperCollins).

The human brain did not evolve to read -- but reading makes us more fully human as it opens up new worlds of understanding and empathy. Today, as we read so much by "skimming" on phones and tablets, we're missing out on the sophisticated thought processes that deep reading provides. Dr. Maryanne Wolf, director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners, and Social Justice at UCLA and the author of several books on literacy, joins us this week to discuss how reading in a digital era affects our critical thinking and leaves us vulnerable to misinformation.   Plus... is dyslexia actually a superpower? https://www.maryannewolf.com/
