Screen vs. Paper Reading—Which is Better for Learning?

According to research, how students read—not just what they read—matters!

  • Students who read on paper score higher on comprehension tests than those who read on screens.
  • Reading on screens leads to skimming and lowered attention and retention.
  • Reading on paper engages more senses, which boosts comprehension and recall.

Reading

How Oxford Learning Kitsilano Tutors Can Help Students Build Stronger Reading Skills (French and English)

Strong reading skills have an enormous impact on academic performance. Reading and literacy skills are the fundamental learning blocks for students. Without them, improving other school subjects can be difficult, and students can experience lifelong difficulties. 

But it can be challenging to build better reading habits with today’s digital distractions.
Research shows that the increased use of technology negatively impacts reading habits and comprehension skills. 

Oxford Learning Kitsilano Reading Tutors Can Help!

 

The average child today spends nearly 45 hours per week with media, compared with 17 hours with their parents and 30 hours in school [source]. Building a daily reading habit can help balance things out.

Six Benefits of Daily Reading:

  1. Provide exercise for the brain to strengthen its circuits and signal 
  2. Improve literacy skills
  3. Boost empathy and concern for the plight of others
  4. Build vocabulary
  5. Reduce stress
  6. Support better sleep when reading before bedtime

How Reading Tutors in Kitsilano Can Help Strengthen Reading Habits

Oxford Learning Kitsilano reading tutors help students build strong reading skills using a phonetic approach that includes decoding. Phonics and decoding are both about breaking down words or pieces of text. Written language is a code—teaching young children to “crack the code” is the most beneficial way to learn and understand words properly. Phonics helps students understand sounds in spoken words and connect sounds to written letters of the alphabet. 

Decoding helps students to: 

  • Develop a large vocabulary of words 
  • Improve the ability to recognize words in their vocabulary at a glance
  • Read with complete comprehension and fluency 
  • Understand grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure

In other words, when students connect print to sound and meaning, they become stronger readers. They can better recall the correct meanings of words and transfer their knowledge to new words.

Stronger Reading Skills Builds Reading Enjoyment! 

Reading should always be enjoyable!  Along with stronger reading skills, here are tips from the Oxford Learning Kitsilano reading tutors to help students develop a love of reading:

  1. Read together and have a conversation about it. 
  2. Create a quiet reading space in your home with access to various books.
  3. Visit the library and bookstores.
  4. Provide autonomy by letting students choose what they want to read.
  5. Don’t focus on just books! Encourage students to read everything: grocery lists, recipes, user manuals, and other things found in your daily life.

Reading Tutors in Kitsilano Help Students Learn to Love Reading! 

Oxford Learning’s Kitsilano reading tutors help students as young as three develop a love of reading. The Little Readers program ignites the passion for reading in young children and gives them the tools to succeed in school.

Testimonials

I should say that both my son, Stephen, and our family are so lucky that we choose Oxford Learning Centre. After four month learning in Oxford, Stephen has mastered his phonics and has learnt some math concepts. He has also developed fine motor skills with help of Oxford. Coloring and tracing is easy for him now and he can sit down quietly to do so. What’s more, Stephen is very polite to greet others and he knows how to behave well in class now. I have never imagined he can do it before 5-year-old. And as you know, he is only 3 year and 4 month old now. Mandarin is the first language for Stephen as used in his daily life. In order to let Stephen be in English environment earlier, we sent him to full time daycare when he was 21 month old. After more than one year in daycare and pre-school, Stephen can understand and communicate with teachers and friends well. But since there are more than 20 kids in one class, every kid can gain little focus. In Stephen’s age, focus is very important, especially for mastering some skills like fine motor skill. At that time, one of my friends recommended me Oxford, which is a wonderful institution for kids, especially small kids, to improve learning ability. With the help of Oxford, her daughter was admitted by West Point Grey Academy kindergarten 2 years ago. Stephen started from twice a week of Beyond Tutoring Program in August 2015 and then added one more Little Reader Program in October 2015. With very small group, one tutor over two to three kids in Beyond Tutoring Program and small group, one tutor over five to eight kids in Little Reader Program, Stephen can get a lot of focus and he improves learning ability quickly. Oxford brings Stephen to a new world. He can express himself better using oral words and drawing. I keep on reading books to him and I can feel he is more interested in listening to the stories than before. Every time, when Stephen is singing the songs learnt in Oxford Little Reader Program happily during playing at home; Every time, when Stephen enjoys doing homework from Oxford; Every time, when Stephen is eager to go to Oxford; Every time, when Stephen is polite to others, I feel so happy. I know we’ve benefited a happy attitude towards learning and a good behaviour from Oxford, which is far beyond just learning ability. Best Regards, Eve S Stephen’s mother

Both my kids are going to Oxford Learning and loving it! I'll admit I was shocked when they came out of tutoring the first time and said, "Awesome!" You don't expect that kind of response to extra academics! Oxford Learning works at your child's pace, and they provide just the right amount of guidance to help them develop independent problem-solving skills. The teachers are kind and encouraging, and my kids really enjoy being there. What's more, they are developing self-confidence and learning new skills every week.
