Changing Reading Habits Among Students

Recent observations indicate that students, including those at prestigious universities, are experiencing difficulties in reading longer texts. Though students are literate and can decode words, their vocabularies have diminished, making it challenging for them to engage deeply with complex material. Professors have noted that this struggle extends even to brief literary forms, such as sonnets, highlighting a significant decline in students' ability to focus and analyze texts. This phenomenon raises concerns about the broader implications of diminished reading capabilities on students' overall learning experiences.
