They average about two hours of screen time, compared with 48 minutes when also being read to.



Wull … that's why it's not well written. The whole concept of being read to was just pulled out of the blue with no hint as to how it related to the subject at hand.

And my apologies to Myridon for getting all haughty and stuff.



I don't get that at all - I'm still with the common sense you abandoned a while ago! The sentence, albeit not charming, offers a straightforward time comparison: 2 hours in front of a screen, 48 mins being read to. It coulda been 73 minutes picking their nose but. The comparitor needs no further logical or linguistic introduction. Common sense supplies the assumed link: 2 sources of stimulus for the child.
