Susan B. Neuman, professor of childhood education and literacy at the Steinhart School at New York University, joins Ryan Rydzewski and guest host Kathy Hirsh-Pasek to talk about the importance of connecting young learners to books in ways that support not just phonics and comprehension, but tie lived experiences and interests to literature.

If you don't do it explicitly, many children cannot do it on their own.” —Susan B. Neuman“We've got to start early. We've got to start immediately, and know that children are eager to learn and use the content to engage them.” —Susan B. Neuman

By reading on our devices, we’re losing abilities it took us thousands of years to develop. That’s because reading from a screen – a computer, a tablet, a phone – lends itself to skimming. This lack of deep reading alters brain development and erodes essential skills, like critical thinking and empathy, according to literacy expert, Maryanne Wolf. Author of the book, Reader Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World, Maryanne is the Director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners and Social Justice at UCLA and past professor of Citizenship and Public Service at Tufts University. She is Co-Founder of Curious Learning, a global literacy project, and she works with the Dyslexia Center at the UCSF School of Medicine. Maryanne is not opposed to digital reading. Instead, she’s on a mission to help us develop what she calls a "bi-literate brain," that is, a brain suited for digital and analog reading, and she explains how we can teach young people to gain these important skills.
