The annual ‘Girls and gingerbread’ event is coming up this weekend. The baking is complete. The parts for 25 mini gingerbread houses are finished and in the freezer, ready for the day. 🥰

Do you really need to read to learn? What neuroscience says about reading versus listening
Whether reading a book or listening to a podcast, the goal is the same: understanding. But these activities support comprehension in different ways.
