66.017 - Content Features in Digitized Stories That Promote Young Children's Vocabulary and Story Comprehension

Mon, May 1, 8:15 to 9:45am, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 209

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Digitized stories have functionalities that make them different from print books and that may impact the books’ efficacy for vocabulary development and story comprehension. Enhanced digital books may have the potential to improve the early literacy experience of young children but we need to increase our understanding of the affordances of the enhanced digitized books. So far they are not well understood and there is a need for studies to address these critical questions to better understand how the affordances and constraints of digitalized books might influence early literacy development.
