Today’s story by Kristen McLean of the Association of Booksellers for Children explains why she believes digitization and e-books are good for literacy.

Of course, some parents are likely reluctant to put their child in front of any type of electronic gizmo — be it a computer, television or beeping toy. Some may also be reticent to give their child an e-reader, which has the potential to be more edifying. Tell us: have you incorporated digital media into your home and way you interact with your child? Do you use an e-reader to read to them at night? Do they use one on their own, and, if so, is it something you encouraged or did they come to it by themselves?
