Five books a year per inhabitant. That is the average reading in Latin America. But beyond how much is read, there is increasing concern about how it is read and, above all, how much it is understood. The latest PISA report reveals a marked deterioration in reading comprehension among students, a trend that the OECD describes as "particularly worrying", considering that reading is the basis of most school learning. Possible causes include the increasing use of screens and artificial intelligence, as well as changes in students' relationship with school after the pandemic.

In a world dominated by screens, has reading become something revolutionary? Does reading make us escape the controls of the algorithm? These are the questions we ask ourselves in this week's edition of #EnPrimeraPlana.
