Parental Notes:
• Studies indicate that children who are not read to on a daily basis have a higher risk for later academic difficulties.
• Book-reading is a bidirectional process; early, interactive reading is a warm and engaging way to spark children's interest in reading and learning.
• By enabling your child to reopen the story and navigate independently, this app creates the perfect conditions for dialogic reading: the child becomes the storyteller and the parent an active listener, allowing for lots of extratextual questions.
• User-driven animated stories constitute an important and rich source of information, developing your child’s ability to understand and analyze images, critically enhancing their general representational capacities and skills, as well as their short-term and long-term recall processes.
• When examined for emergent literacy, children’s visual attention to printed text at ages 2-5 reached only 5%-6% hindering reading achievement predictors. The use of enhanced, highlighted text on Publisto’s iPad apps significantly increases their cognitive abilities and attention to letters, especially in terms of sound-letter correspondence.
