THE CASE FOR SIMPLE TECH

Books vs Screens: Can they compete?

Books play a fundamental role in early childhood development.  Reading to young children improves language acquisition, cognitive processing and social-emotional skills, and is also a rewarding bonding experience. It’s universally accepted that books are important.

But in our digital world, Children are increasingly being directed to screens as a source of information and entertainment. And screen time for little eyes accumulates quickly. 

Screens can be hard to compete with! How do you get children to focus on printed books?

We have something that can help. 

Now, saying you’re solving a technology reliance issue by replacing one electronic device with another sounds hypocritical. We’re not. We are suggesting replacing it with a book- any book you choose. The added benefit is that the book is read by their loved one.
