AB The paper draws on work within neuroscience as well as literacy education and cognitive literary studies toexamine differences between the deep reading of traditional narratives and the reading of digital media. Sincegame-playing, hyper-links and extended novel reading can affect how the brain develops, teachers need tounderstand how they can enable their pupils to develop the neural pathways that make flexibility of reading stylepossible. This means engaging with the impressive array of research available within the neurosciences onlearning to read. The particular capacity examined is connectivity. The nature of instant access to anyone who ison-line and the use of hyperlinks are contrasted with the connectivity with fictional others proffered by the deepreading of novels, specifically fantasy series. The article concludes by calling for more sustained classroomreading as well as support for digital literacies.
