Partnering with Families to Use Screen Time for Supporting Early Language and Literacy
Tatar, Burcu H.; Gerde, Hope K.
Reading Teacher, v76 n4 p439-450 Jan-Feb 2023
Young children's engagement with digital tools (e.g., tablets, smartphones, ebooks/storyapps, and mobile apps) is increasing globally. This is inevitable in our digital world. Even though children primarily use digital technology for entertainment purposes, these tools offer valuable learning opportunities too. Importantly, adults can provide and engage children with digital tools that support and enhance their language and early literacy skills. This article identifies the ways teachers can guide families to select quality digital media and interact with their young children as they use digital technologies to support children's language, reading, and writing development. The authors encourage teachers to engage families as their partners in children's learning within digital spaces. Example family handouts support teachers to connect with families about using technology in ways that promote children's language and literacy development.
