This video introduces caregivers to the many ways that they can help children with reading skills while using handheld devices, watching television, or in front of a computer. Talking with children about what they see on the screen helps them better understand what they see. Turning on closed captioning encourages reading during screen time. With your help, children can access a wide range of books, reading apps, and free high-quality resources from public and school libraries.

Reading on the Screen is one of three videos in the “Reading ‘Round the Clock” series created by the State Library of Ohio, the Ohio Educational Library Media Association (OELMA), INFOhio, and the Ohio PTA.
