the claim

Students comprehend informational texts better when reading on paper than on screens.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources 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 informational texts better when reading on paper than on screens?

Partly. Reviews of the literature report that students, especially with expository or informational texts, often comprehend better on paper than on screens, though the samples are largely older students. One first-grade study found the opposite for descriptive informational texts, with comprehension higher on tablet than paper, so the evidence covers the claim only in part and points both ways.
