[1/*] Using Twitter has put reading comprehension into a very different perspective for me. I used to think reading comprehension tests were silly when I was in grade school, because they seem so easy. But I guess I took for granted the skill of understanding a paragraph of text.

[9/*] Like it seems that people on Twitter can only handle one subject. Like there was a grant proposal. They could handle that. But once there were two grant proposals, that's the end of it. Their brain can't track two similar things at the same time, so it's over?

Interesting thread. You leave out the bad faith element. Some people have no trouble twisting facts, even blatantly going against them, if it serves their purpose, whatever that may be. There would be plenty of that on twitter I suspect.

I don't disagree, but I see reading comprehension as central to this. Nobody would twist a fact so basic as "there are two grant proposals" into "there is one grant proposal" if they thought people had reading comprehension skills, right?

Being a science teacher in high school, this is very frustrating. The students usually fail to comprehend a sentence simply because they only read it partially. They are often not even aware that they skipped an important part.

Might do some good but I'd expect it to reach folks already doing better than average; for the same reasons critical thinking mostly reaches those already well inclined, not those who would benefit the most. IMO social media is surfacing/exacerbating something that always existed

For what it's worth, I'd watch it :)
