2. Visual learning : highly developed visual spatial skills?

Light and sound trained rather than text trained

3. Different reading strategies

DigGen scan text in F pattern starting at bottom of page

Trad readers scan in z pattern

Social comment on use of media to meet belonging needs:

Digital social experience and connectedness and involvement

Resources worth looking at:

Some familiar themes but the fluency project is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
