Abstract

With the advent of the Internet era, digital picture books, as a booming reading resource for children, have gradually become the starting point for most children to read. However, digital reading also faces issues such as information overload and distraction, and further attention should be paid to children's reading literacy in the digital reading environment. Therefore, this article selects 26 students from a kindergarten in Shangqiu City, Henan Province, China as the research subjects. The subjects are divided into an experimental group and a control group for a one-month comparative study. The experimental group uses the "Companion Fish Picture Book" iPad App to achieve digital picture book reading, while the control group uses traditional paper picture books for reading. Two groups of students were evaluated by the teacher and their grades were analyzed. The results showed that children who read digital picture books had a good research impact on vocabulary, reading comprehension, and reading interest. The conclusion was drawn that digital picture book reading can significantly improve children's reading literacy.
