They analyzed data from a standardized test that included non-narrative non-fiction, informational passages on science and history, etc. This never included narrative non-fiction memoirs or biographies. It looks like we have a research gap, who wants to publish on narrative, non-fiction & empathy?
Stanislas Dehaene, Maryanne Wolf and Mark Seidenberg all have fascinating books about our brain as we are acquiring literacy. Audiobooks are great for knowledge building. It is important to ensure that students are getting skilled up in writing embedded with reading from basic patterns to advanced.
I can imagine! Have you read, Maryanne Wolf’s Reader Come Home: the story and science of the reading brain in the digital age? Her chapter 1 in her book Proust and the Squid is fascinating & covers the first writing systems as they developed. Sumerian scribes and their training on clay tablets.
Congratulations. 🎉🎊
Love this! Did you know researchers have published studies linking reading fiction to increase depth of compassion. Reading non-fiction does not get a person there. Remember, recent messages detailing the quiet strength of empathy…? Maybe why our ancestors wrote so many folktales
Not only can reading become a power struggle if your child has dyslexia or dysgraphia (27%/people), the pressure & misconceptions have caused chronic severe stress, which does have physiological implications for children and teens who know they’re not reading well, but are still required to perform
Reading to your child or requiring that your child reads to you, for dyslexic and dysgraphic kids, who make up 27% of the human population, combined, reading won’t get the job done entirely and could become a power struggle.

Same, we must read the books if we want the full Forsyte story
When teachers aren’t trained in how the brain learns reading/writing, students, esp. dyslexics, experience chronic, academic harm. This produces measurable physiological consequences. Professionalization of education requires restoring expertise, not outsourcing instructional functions to EdTech .
US education allowed EdTech to silence professional knowledge. One‑to‑one devices & digital assessments don’t build or measure the neural circuits required for literacy.

X post by John Bistline This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Cherry blossoms have been monitored in Japan for hundreds of years. Since the 1800s, they bloom earlier every year. Blossoms follow warmth after winter cold.

Dyslexic students: required to produce literacy work without instruction live in a chronic stress state, reshapes their neural circuits, impairs learning, & produces physiological harm.
Neural mechanism: chronic stress disrupts inhibitory control in the brain. Lupien’s work also helps us understand that students who face chronic, uncontrollable academic demands experience the same kind of stress physiology.
