Teachers and researchers, including neurobiologist Tzipi Horowitz-Kraus and literacy expert Maryanne Wolf, are concerned about the effect of early exposure to electronic devices on students’ reading stamina and cognitive development. Findings suggest the distractibility and overstimulation caused by screens may hinder the neural connections crucial for literacy — potentially affecting a student’s ability to engage in sustained reading and comprehend complex texts.
