Great question! Good readers are able to organize information and contrast and compare it against other text. The contrast compare of historical documents on the SAT is one of the most challenging portions because this skill is lacking and it's based on strong reading skills.
Students need their teachers or tutor to explain these in-depth because it requires higher order thinking. Without the ability to see similarities and differences, higher ‘learning’ is almost possible.
The drop and dragging of information in apps could help with some information, but students need to understand details and determine which are the key or main ideas. Great readers do this naturally. Poor readers really struggle to understand overarching concepts. It is similar to mental juggling.
If a student can read and understand text, then online learning is a great option for them. If they can not, it all has to be recorded so audio listeners are able to learn. This is what I believe we saw during the "Covid" years where students needed to "independently" learn.
We all have to learn to organise information and assimilate new ideas. Are we teaching this?
