The rise of digital media has made it harder than ever to engage in deep, contemplative reading. As Maryanne Wolf writes in her new book, Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World, skimming is the new normal.

In this episode, Marty West speaks with Doug Lemov, who reviewed Wolf’s book for Education Next.

Lemov is managing director of Uncommon Schools and author of Teach Like a Champion and Reading Reconsidered.
