A lot of teachers and developmental specialists advise parents to veer from exposing children to mobile devices while they are in their early years. But when children reach school age (3 to 4 years old), the use of mobile devices and apps can aid them in learning different foundational skills.

Improved literacy

Studies show that children who use mobile devices for apps, videos, and other media have improved literacy. It readies children to perform in school and exposes them to activities like reading, writing, and counting.

Greater motivation

Learning can be fun for kids who enjoy using apps. These apps are designed to keep children motivated and engaged. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone—children are playing while learning.

There are learning apps that produce progress reports every time after their playing sessions, which give parents an idea of what the child has learned and the skills they were taught.

What’s great about these apps is that they are portable and kids can have it wherever they are—at home, in a mall, in a car, or even during a vacation out of town! With educational apps, learning can happen even outside the four walls of the classroom.
