Tech: How to Use Digital Tools to Support Literacy

Not
every child learns the necessary skills of life the same way. Think about
walking, for example. Some children seem to jump up, overnight, and toddle
around on their own two feet. Others do more testing and trying to get their
balance and momentum. And even though it’s not obvious to all of us, they’ve
been building those walking skills since they day they were born.

                The same is true of essential
skills like reading. From birth, families can help build those skills. But
sometimes, the connections or support aren’t always there—which means children
can struggle with reading. And those struggles might persist into adulthood.
There are a variety of ways to help people build a better foundation for
literacy, and one of the newest ones is technology. Tech offers a range of
options suitable for all levels and ages of literacy improvement—apps and audio
books to name just two. Want more insights into tech literacy support? This graphic
