Independent: Five-year-olds who use technology more have higher literacy scores, study finds
Five-year-olds in England who shun digital devices have lower literacy scores than children who use technology more regularly, a global study has found.
Some screen time can have a positive effect on children’s working memory and literacy, according to a Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) report.
However, children who used electronic devices all the time did not see a significant boost to skills.
