Personalized Children's Books by KD Novelties Announces How Study Finds Engaging with eBooks Enhances Literacy in Children
Monroe, NY (PRWEB) May 30, 2014 -- Digital devices provide more than just entertainment. They also have the immense power to promote literacy. Though many people may believe that the proliferation of electronic devices, apps, games and countless other digital distractions are just that, distractions, they are actually much more than that. Studies have shown that children's growing interest in such devices have a huge impact on their literacy skills.
According to a recent ebook vocabulary study conducted by the Society for the Scientific Study of Reading indicate that ebooks are likely an effective tool for early literacy development with children especially those in under resourced schools. The combined act of looking, listening and touching involved in interacting with e-text stimulates early literacy and learning in kids. The study also found that children utilizing ebooks learned 21% and 46% percent more expressive and receptive words respectively than their control condition peers.
Children are entranced with electronic devices. The medium of such tools encourages that they actively look, and also begs them to interact. This is why interactive ebooks are becoming an integral part of promoting children’s literacy. While games and other informational tools can promote literacy in children, ebooks and other digital print can help garner kids’ attention when it comes to reading unlike traditional print materials. Though interacting with physical objects is an important part of learning for young, developing children, digital devices invite kids to interact and engage independently unlike other tools.
