TECHNOLOGY
Technology has become a major part of our lives. If used irresponsibly, technology can
be dangerous. However, when used correctly, technology can actually be a valuable
tool in improving your child’s literacy. The possibilities are almost endless and can be
overwhelming, so here are a few suggestions to make it easier!

Educational Videos
E-books
There is a plethora of videos online that are
both entertaining and educational. You can
find these both for free on websites like
YouTube or for a couple dollars an episode
on sites such as Amazon. This is great
because online videos, unlike television,
can be watched on demand and watched
on portable devices, thus giving you more
flexibility as far as when, where, and how
much your child watches videos.
E-books also have the benefit of giving you
more flexibility. They can be downloaded on
multiple devices and you can conveniently
take an entire library of books on a trip.
Even better, they are normally cheaper than
physical books. On the Kindle store, you’ll
find many books available for only $1.
