The Perfect Gift: Why Parents Should Buy eBooks for Small Children


159683357From the moment a child is born, his or her parents will more than likely try to find as many effective ways as possible to stimulate growth and development progressively on a social, physical and emotional level. However, a major priority and concern for most parents is also the mental development of their small children as well. This explains why there was close to $6 billion spent on building sets, strategic games and puzzles as well as preschool toys in 2012 alone, according to the Toy Industry Association.

One effective educational resource that many parents have not tapped into as of yet, though, is the eBook. Studies have proven that purchasing eBooks for small children can be very effective at stimulating their mental growth in more ways than most parents might think.

Encouraging Kids to Read Aloud

One of the primary benefits of many free kids eBooks is that they come programmed with the capability of being read aloud. Small children who are just now beginning to learn how to read or those who are struggling can benefit greatly from this feature because they will not become overwhelmed by the difficult task of reading alone. Along with the engaging illustrations that are effective at captivating the short attention spans of most small children, this feature will allow them to actually enjoy learning how to read simply by following along with the recording. They will be able to learn new words along with their proper pronunciations and increase their overall confidence when it comes to reading aloud in front of other people over time, according to the Digital Book World.

Complete Engagement through Interaction

Another benefit to consider is that most free kids eBooks give children the chance to become fully engaged with the learning process by interacting with these books through the integrated puzzles, applications and games featured within the text. In the past, most eBooks that were designed for children consisted of only illustrations and text. Therefore, once the reading was over, the interaction and learning process ended right along with it.

With interactive games and applications featured within these eBooks, however, children can expand their ideas and improve their overall comprehension of the concepts and lessons that were taught within the pages of the book. For example, a series of color matching games or simple spelling exercises can go a very long way when it comes to transforming an entertaining eBook into an educational one.

Additional Benefits to Explore

In addition to the extensive list of educational benefits that are ready to be enjoyed and explored by your small children within the expanding world of free kids eBooks, there are many other benefits that parents can truly appreciate as well. For instance, even the eBooks that you have to pay for are close to 50 percent cheaper than printed books that you buy from a traditional, brick-and-mortar book store, according to CNET. The portability factor of eBooks is definitely a major selling point that even the most skeptical consumer or critic has to appreciate. Instead of carying a bag filled with 20 of your child’s favorite printed books, you can download them all as affordable or free kids eBooks and have direct access to them all within your eBook reader or mobile tablet.

The instant gratification of receiving eBooks within just a few seconds depending on the bandwidth of your Internet connection sweetens the deal even more, according to KiteReader.com. Therefore, your children will be able to learn a lot and progressively develop in more ways than you might realize simply by reading and enjoying eBooks that you have made available to them.
