E-Books

E-books have several advantages that can support reading interest and child development, including:

• Interactive: E-books with touch screens and additional features can make reading more interesting. Kids can tap on a picture or word to hear its pronunciation, see an animation, or even play simple mini games. This helps the child understand the story better and improves their concentration.

• Easy to find and carry: E-books can be downloaded easily and stored in large quantities on electronic devices. This is much more practical than having to carry a lot of thick books with you.

• Features Help Learning: E-books usually have a built-in dictionary. So when children encounter a word they don't understand, they can immediately look up its meaning easily.

• Meet Different Interests: A wide selection of e-books are available with wide themes and genres. Parents can choose e-books that match the interests of children, so they are more interested in reading.

• Helping children with learning difficulties: E-books with text-to-speech features can help children who have difficulty reading or have dyslexia. They can listen to the narration of the story while following the text on the screen.

But keep in mind, e-books should be used as a companion, not a total replacement for printed books. Reading physical books has its own benefits such as training focus and concentration, as well as providing a different sensory experience.
