Research has consistently shown that reading with children has numerous benefits, including improved language skills, stronger parent-child relationships, and enhanced socio-emotional development. Digital platforms, such as apps and eBooks, have been recognized as valuable tools for book selection and engagement. However, parents often face challenges in finding age-appropriate and high-quality books amidst the overwhelming number of options available. Online resources and social media recommendations are increasingly used by parents to navigate this process. It is crucial for parents to actively engage and mediate digital reading experiences to maximize their benefits.
