Lately, I’ve been having a hard time focusing on reading anything longer than a blog post. 😬 ⠀ ⠀ It’s very frustrating. ⠀ ⠀ I open a book and begin reading...and then my mind wanders and I start thinking about a thousand things at once. Next thing I know, my eyes are at the bottom of the page but I don’t remember reading a thing. 🤷🏽♀️⠀ ⠀ Not coincidentally, I have been spending more and more time on social media over the past few months. Is there a direct correlation between the two? I think so.⠀ ⠀ I picked up this book from @watchungbooksellers yesterday. As a Reading Specialist, I love learning about what happens in our brains as we read. Maryanne Wolf - who has been at the forefront of the science of reading for decades - wrote this timely book about reading in the age of distraction. 🙃⠀ ⠀ 👉🏽 Has anyone else experienced this? What do you do to commit to attentive reading? ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #teachingliteracy #books #reading #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #booklover #socialmedia #distractions #distractedreading #readercomehome #readingbrain #maryannewolf https://www.instagram.com/p/B1wSihUBTYI/?igshid=1rquv90u0mtkp
