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.
Testimonials
The staff at Oxford Learning in Waterdown are enthusiastic, well organized and dedicated to individual student success. Since my son started Oxford Learning, he has made significant gains, not only in the subject that he was focusing on at Oxford Learning but also with his other subjects in Grade 10. Oxford Learning has had a huge impact on the way he approaches studying, closing gaps, and improving his reading comprehension in all areas in a relatively short amount of time. He has acquired solid learning strategies, greater independence, and has much more confidence in his abilities. The small group sessions are invaluable in keeping him on track. We are thrilled with the major improvement in his report card marks since attending Oxford Learning. I would highly recommend this program! Gayle C.Gayle C.
My son started at Waterdown Oxford Learning in elementary school to help him with English and mathematics. The tutoring sessions were a huge help over the years, and he continued at Oxford Learning until he completed high school. There are not enough words to express how wonderful and supportive the tutors have been. My son developed a love for learning, and they have given him the tools he needs as he heads off to University in the fall. He really enjoyed his time there. I am very grateful to the Waterdown Oxford Learning staff. Thank you!Paige McPeake
We are very happy with one-to-one math lessons started one year ago by our son, Gr.11. After his teacher's explanations, he was really pleased to have a complex understanding of all the math subjects. He was so pleased that he decided to start studying physics, too, this semester. I will highly recommend Michael as a wonderful teacher for any student at any level. Adriana R.Adriana R.
Centre Events
We love to display the wonderful learning and work that happens in our centre. Centre events are designed to get students talking about what they're learning, make connections, and develop metacognitive awareness!
Students are always welcome to suggest future events and be part of the planning process!
The Funky Fruit Tree
Students were able to choose a piece of craft paper, design a fruit of their own, and put their fruit on the Funky Fruit Tree! We had so many fruits growing on our tree that some began to fall to the ground!
This event was truly a great way for students to see the fruits of their labour. :)
The Growing Caterpillar
As students continued to learn from home, the caterpillar in our lobby continued to grow!
Each segment of the caterpillar shows something that a student worked on during their session. The caterpillar grew to be 122 segments long! That's a lot of learning!
