Read paper books or e-books? Five differences between electronic reading and paper reading: parents should distinguish.

Electronic products have completely changed our way of life in all aspects, including reading books.

"Electronic screens hurt your eyesight."

"E-books are so convenient that you don't have to run around with old books."

"Reading on an electronic screen for a long time will not affect your attention."

"Children are not used to watching the screen. What if they can't adapt to society in the future? "

"E-books are very good. There are many ways of interaction, which are more attractive to children than paper books. What's wrong? "

I believe everyone is familiar with these arguments. Electronic reading is becoming more and more popular, and even children can easily access the electronic screen.

The national reading survey in 17 shows that in 20 19, the contact rate of digital reading was 79.3%, which was 3. 1 percentage point higher than that in 20 18. Children born in the Internet age are getting younger and younger when they first come into contact with e-reading.

The concentration is different.

As we all know, if you want to read deeply, you must be calm and concentrate on the book in front of you.

When we read a paper book, there is no unnecessary interference, and our attention will only be focused on the content of the book.

When reading with electronic screen, there will be many distractions: glowing screen, pop-up advertisement, WeChat message, etc. , is not conducive to our key reading.

In such an environment, if the coherence of reading is always interrupted, it will be difficult for children to concentrate on immersive reading, and there will be no in-depth thinking and understanding.

20 12, Israel made a comparative experiment:

The researchers divided a group of college students into two groups: paper books and e-book reading.

Then the students' final memory of the content is examined in three ways: 7 minutes, unlimited time and 7 minutes' sudden interruption.

As a result, paper reading is better than electronic reading in both limited time and unlimited time, but there is little difference in interruption mode.

The brain is put into use and discarded. The less children use it, the lazier they will be in memory, thinking and learning.

When reading e-books, parents and children interact less than when reading paper books.

The cooperative research project of researchers at the University of Michigan in the United States found that parents and children (children aged 2-3) found verbal interaction and nonverbal interaction when reading e-books and paper books:

When parents and children read with e-books, they have little language expression and low cooperation; Reading paper books will bring parents and children a higher quality reading experience.

The study found that compared with reading e-books, in the process of reading paper books, parents have significantly more conversations with their children. At the same time, they read more directly according to the text content of the book.

In life, we can also find that when parents and children read together, most parents will choose paper books, which are more interactive, can be read for reference, and have greater touch and children's interest.

Paper printing is easier to read than electronic articles.

For our visual system, reading paper books is not as laborious as reading e-books. It can provide us with more space and tactile clues, and help our brains to process words on the page more easily.

Anne Mangen, a professor of reading and writing skills at Stavanger University in Norway, said: "Compared with electronic reading, paper reading is a completely different immersive experience.

I think it's good for us to sit down and quietly understand and analyze some short messages that are quiet, noisy and won't disturb our attention. "

Information processing in electronic reading is more rough.

We read the words on the screen faster, so we feel that we have a better understanding of the words on the screen, but in fact, when we read electronically, we will be more rough.

In 20 16, SingerTrakhman studied and compared the comprehension ability of college students when reading the paper version and the electronic version respectively, and found that different article forms did not affect their mastery of the main content, but students were more likely to miss some details when reading the electronic version.

Reading the electronic version will affect the comprehension ability, especially the long and complicated articles.

A study in 2009 found that the brain processes physical information and electronic information in different ways.

The experimenters read the same advertisement on the electronic screen and printed small cards to test their brain activity.

When reading paper materials, the medial prefrontal cortex and cingulate cortex of the brain are more active, both of which are involved in our emotional processing. At the same time, paper reading materials also make the parietal cortex, which processes visual and spatial clues, more active.

Paper reading is a kind of enjoyment.

For Xiao Baobao, their contact with books begins with cloth books, office books, tactile books and turning over books. Through tactile sensory experience, they can help the brain remember scenes, and they are more likely to fall in love with reading.

For adults, reading paper books is also a pleasure. You can build a new memory map according to the relationship between page numbers, positions and words. You can also draw and write on paper and mark important contents.

The paper, typesetting, illustrations, etc. of each book are all unique combinations, and such a magical experience cannot be provided by electronic reading.

0-3 years old

When the baby comes to this brand-new world and faces all strange things, what is most needed is to quickly enrich his feelings and cognition.

Books suitable for 0-3-year-old babies include cognitive books, picture story books, game books, cave books and so on. At this time, babies need real things to help them understand the world.

This stage is mainly completed through parent-child interactive reading. Parents can imagine themselves as their children's reading guides, lead their babies to travel around the world in reading, stimulate their babies' love for reading nature through rich sensory experiences and wonderful explanations, and develop their hand-eye coordination and observation and cognitive abilities.

3-6 years old

Children aged 3-6 have begun to have a certain self-care ability and ideology, and have more extensive contact with the real society. As they enter the kindergarten, their living space is broader.

Their independence, curiosity, desire for exploration, practicality and social needs are also gradually increasing. They are eager to master some common sense of life, social skills and judgment standards and integrate into the real society.

At this time, you can combine electronic reading with paper reading. Books about life knowledge and social skills are not literary classics, so they don't need to be savored. You can use electronic reading to get the information you want. As long as parents arrange the use time of the electronic screen reasonably, they will not let their children indulge in the electronic screen.

Do you understand the advantages and disadvantages of paper reading and electronic reading? The choice and reading time of paper reading and electronic reading can be balanced according to the age and development characteristics of children.
