Study shows that digital reading may affect children's learning ability

E-books have changed people's reading habits, and we have experienced the convenience of reading brought about by high technology. However, parent-child readings between parents and children may also change before e-writing. Recently, a series of foreign studies have shown that compared with paper books, a large number of operations on electronic reading devices can interfere with children's reading, and thus affect children's ability to understand.

According to Bai Dao Network, in the United States, an e-book reader is used to carry out parent-child reading activities. Parents do not tell the children about the content of books, and they are teaching children how to operate the device. Julia Parish Morris, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania, said: "These parents are trying to control the behavior of their children so that they can see the whole story from beginning to end. "Parris Morris believes that all of these chattering instructions may affect children's ability to develop reading comprehension. Children using e-book readers have far less understanding of stories than those used by parents." Paper book for children reading. Coincidentally. A study initiated by Gabrielle Elstraus of Vanderbilt University also indicated the influence of parents' words and deeds on children's reading behavior during reading. He asked some parents to simply point to the contents of the screen during the reading process, or to let the children read independently without saying a word, and let other parents consciously ask the baby some questions about the storyline. In the end, it was found that the former reading method allows the child to have a much lower reading skill than the reading skills the child can learn in the latter reading mode.

Grover Whittlehurst, director of education policy at the Brookings Institution in the United States, calls parent-child conversational interactions “dialogue reading,” and believes that conversational reading is crucial to the development of learning ability. Elstraus also believes that parents should develop ways to ask children about the content of the story and how to encourage children to repeat the content of the story. "And these are not directly presented in e-books."
