Electronic ABCs: Youth Literacy 2.0

When it comes to building your child’s literacy skills, you can never start too soon. But in a world filled with computers, tablets, TVs, and smart phones, where do you even begin? Many studies have created an unnecessary competition between books and technology. The truth is they are both important in the education of today’s children. While technology should not replace print resources, it’s important not to shy away from technology that might be useful in your child’s learning experience. There are many great digital tools out there that can help encourage kids to read in a fun, new way.
