About this Event
In the United States, children under the age of 8 spend more than 2 hours a day on screen media. There has been a dramatic rise in the use of mobile devices by children since 2011. More than 70% of parents report giving children an e-book to read alone when they’re busy. (Vaala & Takeuchi, 2012)
The digital media revolution is altering the landscape of early childhood, prompting questions about its impact. Do children learn equally well from e-books as traditional books? Is it possible that e-books can help children catch up from learning loss during the pandemic?
Dive into these and other questions with Professor Roberta Michnick Golinkoff during this virtual event hosted by the Friends of the University of Delaware Library.
