NOTES

Title from title frames

While our brain circuitry evolved to support speech, reading is not an innate, passively acquired skill. Instead, the connections in our brains are shaped and reinforced as we learn to read. Compare the neurological difference between reading on the internet and reading a physical book, and understand why we need to ensure that the next generations acquire the skill of "deep reading."
