Turning on the subtitles while children are watching television can double the chances of a child becoming good at reading†. It’s so brilliantly simple and can help children’s literacy so much that we want to shout it from the rooftops!

†Based on an academic study of 2,350 children, 34% became good readers with schooling alone. But when exposed to 30 minutes a week of subtitled film songs, that proportion more than doubled to 70%. There are lots of studies about the benefits of subtitles. This is just one! Check out our research page to find out more.

Why does the child becoming good at reading come with a check(†)?

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Because I copied the formatting exactly and the † denotes the foot note.

So I copied the claim, and the source.

Wow, that's amazing! Are schools adding 30 minutes of subtitled entertainment to their curriculum? If not, why the hell not?
