the claim

Students comprehend text better when they read it on paper than when they read it on screens.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that students comprehend text better when they read it on paper than when they read it on screens?

Partly. A systematic review reports that paper reading outperformed screen reading for comprehension, especially with expository texts, while a 2025 quasi-experiment with Turkish middle-schoolers found no significant difference between print and screen. Both cover only parts of the picture, and neither settles the general claim about students.
