Reading Wikipedia pages, news websites and e-books is less associated with comprehension than reading a book than has been printed on paper, one group of researchers says. — dpa

READING printed books is more associated with comprehension than reading on digital devices, according to University of Valencia (UV) scientists who are calling for print texts to be encouraged in schools.

"Leisure reading habits on screen are minimally related to reading comprehension, which contrasts with the solid positive relationship between reading habits on paper and comprehension," said the university’s Lidia Altamura.
