Young Chinese parents embracing e-books for children
Chinese children are spending more time reading digital books as young parents are increasingly open to the idea, research shows.
The amount of time children under 9 spend reading e-books every day increased almost 20 percent to 24. 3 minutes between 2016 and 2017, according to a joint study by e-book company Kada Story and teaching consultancy TAL Education Group.
A three-year study of 6, 030 parents found that almost 70 percent said they are willing to let their children use mobile phones and tablets, while 25 percent of those born in the 1990s or later said they let their children spend more than 40 minutes a day on mobile devices.
Parents in first-tier cities are more likely to let their children use mobile devices, with children in Beijing spending almost 70 minutes a day using the gadgets.
“Digital reading is an important skill for children to master in this age of information explosion, ” said Wang Jing, chief editor of Kada Story.
However, not all parents want their children to read digitally.
“I fear e-books will negatively affect my son’s attention span or expose him to inappropriate content, ” said Xie Wenfeng, mother of a 7-year-old boy in Shanghai.
She said she believed books in print are better for the eyes and do not affect sleep. “I also worry about possible addiction to e-books.” she added.

【答案】支持:
With more parents willing to let their children use mobile devices, the amount of time children spend reading e-books every day is increasing steadily. However, parents’ opinions vary on it.
Personally, I’m in favor of it. Compared to books in print, e-books have more advantages. E-books can be accessed remotely and can therefore make a single purchase available in almost every place. Besides, e-books are much cheaper than books in print, and they can provide the same knowledge for our children. Furthermore, considering the environment and these new technologies that do not call for trees to be sacrificed for a good story, perhaps e-books are a good thing. Last but not least, children should be equipped with the basic ability of digital reading in this age of information explosion.
Therefore, it’s safe to conclude that parents can help encourage children to read e-books. In the meantime, they may limit children’s screen time.

Personally, I’m strongly against it. Though e-books have appeared for many years and the market is growing rapidly, books in print still occupy the first place. When compared with e-books, books in print have their natural advantages. Firstly, traditional reading helps children cultivate abstract thinking ability. By contrast, e-books look like a kind of fast food culture which lacks depth. Secondly, books in print can be kept for a long time if well taken care of. Thirdly, there being no need to scroll or click, children don’t suffer from screen glare while reading on the iPad is bad for our eyes.
To conclude, nothing compares to the feel and smell of books in print. Letting children read them is a right choice.
