e-Books share some key features with traditional
printed picture books, but also include distinct features
such as live animation, interactive components, and
the operation of the technology that require new approaches
to shared reading with young children. The purpose of
this paper is to better inform adults working with young
children (teachers, child care providers, and parents) of
important factors to consider when choosing and sharing
e-books with young children. We discuss why to share
e-books with young children; types of e-books and how to
evaluate them; how adults can best support young children’s
language and literacy development through shared
readings of e-books, including examples of shared readings
of an e-book with young children; and an exploration of the
potential of e-books to support meaningful interactions
around texts.
