TY - JOUR AU - Medwell, Jane AB - Developments in technology, particularly in terms of multimedia capability, have begun to make possible innovative educational use of microcomputers. One particular kind of software which has recently begun to be produced is the electronic book. Such “books” can provide reading experience for children which support and lead into reading proficiency. In this article Jane Medwell describes a study in which she evaluated the effects of experiences with disc‐based electronic books on infant reading. Some interesting results emerged concerned with the ways in which children interacted with the “books” and the gender differences in the use and effects of such reading support.
