Abstract
A session hosted as part of the 2025 Messiah University Humanities Symposium on Living Digitally.
- Today’s children are learning to use technology before they learn to read, but reading is still a fundamental skill for success in school and in life. How do children learn to read and learn to love reading in a digital world?
- Literacy Education Professor Sarah Fischer, Ph.D. will introduce the science and scholarship surrounding learning to read.
- Panel conversation consisting of a parent, student, and librarians will discuss the ways in which they have negotiated the challenges and rewards when helping children develop an identity as a reader.
- Story time and activities for children will be provided in the library's Athenaeum. Hosted by MU pre-education students.
Note: The Audio cuts off before the end of the panel conversation.
