Ebooks are better for children for several reasons. Like print books, ebooks help children develop word recognition, vocabulary, imagination, and reading comprehension skills. However, ebooks also offer an exciting and unique reading experience that promotes additional reading skills.

Some of the top reasons ebooks are better for children include:

Interactive reading experience - the interactive nature of ebooks encourages kids to read more often and for longer, promoting a love of reading. In addition, animation, sound effects, and engaging illustrations can help children with comprehension and story recall.
Independent reading - ebooks with read-aloud features allow children to read whenever they want, even without the help of a parent. This encourages more time spent reading!
Ability to explore topics beyond their reading level - with print books, children are confined to stories within their reading level. However, with ebooks, kids can explore stories and topics of interest beyond their reading ability. This can inspire new interests and help children learn about the vast world around them.
Helpful for children who struggle with reading - the interactive features offered by ebooks (e.g., read-aloud, digital dictionaries, etc.) are extremely helpful for kids who struggle with reading. These features can also motivate reluctant readers to read.
Accessibility and convenience - ebooks are much more accessible than print books. Therefore, kids can take their favorite books with them wherever they go - and read as much as they want!
Support of different learning styles - unlike print books, ebooks cater to all learning styles. So, whether your child learns through visual representation or needs auditory input, ebooks provide the perfect tool for improving reading and comprehension skills.

Audiobooks and read-aloud books also offer benefits beyond typical ebooks. Here's why your child should be reading audiobooks - Benefits of Audiobooks for Kids
