In this episode of FLLLE: La Literatura Libera y Empodera, we explore one of today’s most urgent educational debates: Are screens replacing the deep reading skills that books help us develop? The hosts discuss scientific findings showing how excessive digital media use can impact attention, vocabulary growth, and academic performance.
They also highlight the powerful advantages of reading on paper, stronger comprehension, better memory, and deeper focus, thanks to the physical layout that helps the brain process information more effectively. The episode reminds listeners that screens aren’t the enemy; the real danger is when digital consumption replaces the habit of deep, intentional reading.
Listeners will walk away with simple, practical strategies for nurturing print literacy at home and encouraging young readers to reconnect with the joy and cognitive benefits of physical books.
