These types of learning are choices now. I can remember a time when there were no IEP's. No special-Ed programs. It was horrible for kids. I'd hate to see us go backwards.
Most people learn depending on other factors. Yes we adapt to what we prefer but there's not really anyone who is a listener or, in this case, reader. Other factors primarily impact how and what you learn and then you adapt to it yourself.
Also, just to have it be said, my own preference is audiobooks. But I know why reading is important, but that's for other reasons than it being a better learning system for me.
Folks in general shouldn't put that much value on a particular style and should just... do what works.
Generally, what you prefer is what's best, because it's what's easiest, the same for anything. The most important part is to simply engage with the marital no matter how you consume it, cuz that's the best way to learn. Besides this doesn't account for stuff like ADHD where hands on stuff is better
Ok but like, full disclosure I didn't watch the whole video cuz I'm doing something else rn, but he was right when he said his version is unscientific, that's just a memory game, teaching to memorization has always just been the worst way to learn anyways. It's all surface level.
Ok but that's not something you need to strengthen, that's like strengthening right handedness when you're left handed, it's just kinda not helpful in any capacity.
Sure, but is adult illiteracy not a problem? Being able to understand verbal language is extremely important but so is being able to read, and when we talk about "being able to read" we're talking about written language. Neither is a satisfactory replacement for the other.
Ok but like, that's ableist, what about dyslexia, what about vision impairment, what about unmedicated ADHD. Or any of the many other disabilities that can affect this.
Not everyone can read, and people that are illiterate because of chosen ignorance, aren't really listening to audiobooks anyways.

The IEP and SpED stuff is nice though, I'm really glad that exists these days.
