Young children's development of early literacy and language skills are strong predictors of future reading and writing ability. These skills in turn predict future health, well-being, and success. It is important that young children are provided with positive experiences that foster these skills. In the 21st century, such early learning can occur through interactions with both non-digital and digital forms of language and print. While the benefits of non-digital tools and experiences for literacy and language learning have been well established, the introduction of new digital technologies, such as mobile phones, touch screen tablets, and associated apps, an understanding of the impact of digital experiences on children's development is emerging.
