E-books are swiping kids' story time

Clifford the Big Red Dog looks fabulous on
an iPad. He sounds good, too — tap the screen and hear him pant as a blue truck
roars into the frame. “Go, truck, go!” cheers the narrator.
But does this count as story
time? Or is it just screen time for babies?
It is a question that parents,
pediatricians and researchers are struggling to answer as children’s books
migrate to digital media.
For years, child development
experts have advised parents to read to their children early and often, citing
studies showing its linguistic, verbal and social benefits. In June, the
American Academy of Pediatrics advised doctors to remind parents at every visit
that they should be reading to their children from birth.
