The research team consisted of Natalia Kucirkova, May Irene Furenes, and Adriana G. The team analyzed data on 1,812 children aged 1 and 8 from 39 studies.
Children s story comprehension and vocabulary learning when they read a book on paper versus on-screen were compared. The effects of story-related enhancements in digital books, the presence of a dictionary, and the role of adult support were also measured. ....
