According to Joan Ganz Cooney Center findings on studying 32 families of the parent-child interaction, 63% of pairs have higher engagement in print books. It proves that print books prompt children to have physical interaction.
There is more parent-children conversation through reading print book compared to e-book. Hence, it is a challenge for the designers to add unrelated features into the enhanced e-books. However, they also need to enable the parents to customize it for their reading with their children. Through their findings, print and basic e-book are more effective than enhanced e-book in terms of prioritizing children’s literacy-building experiences. And also empower memory retention, recall more narrative details, increase their vocabularies and their overall language development. Print book and basic e-book direct the attention on the story-related topic, but enhanced e-book focus more on the content issue.
