The Digital World of Young Children: Emergent Literacy

Pearson Foundation

This US paper examines the latest research on the ways in which young children make use of increasingly personalized and mobile media – including cell phones, television, video games, smart devices, and computers. The report focuses on the impact of these new ways of learning and also highlights the degree to which these emergent literacies are rooted in young people’s use of common-place mobile devices – especially in developing and least-developed nations
