Are kids' attention spans impacting their ability to read? 

21 May - 15 mins
Podcast Series The Hard Shoulder Highlights

Author Anthony Horowitz has said he believes that social media is impacting children's attention spans and it’s causing them to no longer be able to concentrate on longer novels.

But, are their attention spans getting worse, or do we need to change how we approach reading?

Joining Kieran to discuss is Lorraine Levis, Author ‘Once Upon a Reader: Raising Your Children with a Love of Books’ and Head of Sales for Bloomsbury in Ireland and Derek Landy, Author of the Skulduggery Pleasant series.
