Are Digital Books Effective for For Childrens Story Comprehension? by Anjanee Sharma on March 10, 2021 at 6:21 PM
Meta-analytic study finds that children (aged 1 to 8) were less likely to understand picture books when they read them digitally compared to printed books. However, if the digital picture books have enhancements that reinforce the story content, they perform better than print books.
The research team consisted of Natalia Kucirkova, May Irene Furenes, and Adriana G. The team analyzed data on 1,812 children aged 1 and 8 from 39 studies.
Children s story comprehension and vocabulary learning when they read a book on paper versus on-screen were compared. The effects of story-related enhancements in digital books, the presence of a dictionary, and the role of adult support were also measured.

Understanding the ceasefire
March 5, 2021
Amidst the massive national focus on the legal and political events in the run-up to the Senate elections, something of import happened on the Pakistan-India front that has the potential to open up space for a low-level engagement between Islamabad and New Delhi.
The announcement of a ceasefire agreement along the Line of Control (LoC), which was originally signed in 2003, is the first significant step forward in a bilateral relationship that has been on a steep decline ever since Indian Prime Minister Modi swept to power in his second term.
Another way of gauging the importance of this engagement is to juxtapose it in the context of Modi’s unilateral annexation of Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir as well as the post-Pulwama military stand-off that could have spiraled into a full-fledged war with Pakistan.
