Overview

Screens are now part of childhood, but what do they really do to a young child's developing brain? Screen Time and the Reading Brain is a research-based, parent-friendly guide that helps families understand how screen time affects early brain development, language growth, attention, and future reading success from birth through age five. Written for parents of babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, this book explains the science of the reading brain in clear, reassuring language, without fear, guilt, or unrealistic screen-free rules. You'll learn how young children actually process screens, why some screen experiences support learning while others interfere with it, and how everyday interactions matter far more than minutes on a timer. This guide goes beyond simple screen time limits to explain: How screen time interacts with early literacy development What babies and toddlers really see and learn from screens Why conversation, play, and connection build the reading brain How screen time affects attention, behavior, and sleep in young children How to use screens in ways that support language development before kindergarten Grounded in the science of birth-to-five brain development, Screen Time and the Reading Brain helps parents make confident, informed choices about technology while protecting the experiences that matter most for learning. Rather than focusing on what to avoid, this book shows families how to support early literacy, comprehension, and curiosity in a digital world. Part of The Reading Brain Series: Birth to Five Parent Guides, this book is ideal for parents who want evidence-based guidance on screen time, early reading skills, and brain development, without pressure or shame.
