The Glen Academy – Where Fun and Reading Meet

Benefits of reading E-books vs. Print

Lots of kids’ books are available as e-books, but it’s not clear whether reading together with an e-book has all the same benefits as a physical print book. Some research indicates that parents and kids may interact more meaningfully when reading print books compared to e-books. And some experts contend that it’s harder for kids to slow down and read attentively on a screen, since they (and their parents!) are used to scrolling through digital material quickly.

That said, there’s no reason to swear off e-books entirely, especially if they make it possible for your family to read together when you wouldn’t otherwise manage it. For example, if you’re traveling or otherwise have trouble accessing a variety of print books, e-books can make it much easier to find engaging new material to read together.

The important part is making reading time meaningful, no matter the medium. Taking your time, sitting together, and talking with your child about the book can help them (and you) get a lot of the same benefits that you would from reading a print book together.

Reading together also helps your child learn the concept of a story – that there’s a beginning, middle, and end. That’s an important pre-reading skill, which also strengthens the brain’s executive functioning and ability to organize information. It’s pretty amazing what story time can do! That’s why at The Glen Academy we are committed to having story time for our babies everyday.
