{Reading between the lines: Improving comprehension for~students}
{Kevin Larson}
{While reading is arguably a student's most important skill, the
technology of reading is relatively unchanged. Can the power of
computing improve a student's reading comprehension? We will discuss
what has been learned about typography in the last 500 years, about
reading psychology in the last 100 years, and what technology can be
invented right now.
