How to increase recall with digital storybooks

The video discusses how children today are surrounded by digital learning tools. Traditional book reading has been a quiet, foundational activity for developing reading and language skills. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, funded by the National Science Foundation, found that children learn better when actively involved. They conducted tests with children aged three to five using static and animated digital books. The study showed that interactive digital books significantly improved children's recall. This contingent, positive reinforcement is rewarding and beneficial, especially for children with focus difficulties.
