Gen Z students are struggling to read and comprehend a sentence, one Pepperdine University professor recently said.

“It’s not even an inability to critically think,” Humanities Professor Jessica Hooten Wilson told Fortune. “It’s an inability to read sentences.”

“I feel like I am tap dancing and having to read things aloud because there’s no way that anyone read it the night before,” the professor said.

Wilson also said that even when she reads passages in class with the students, “there’s so much they can’t process about the very words that are on the page.”
