Abstract(s)
Our aim was to investigate the use of various digital media for different
purposes in home environment and its relation to the level of school
readiness, namely graphomotor skills, logical reasoning and letter
knowledge in children aged 6 to 7. Children (N=92) were tested for
graphomotor skills, logical reasoning and letter knowledge while their
parents completed a questionnaire providing us with the data about their
own and their children’s access to digital media in home environment.
Results show low but significant negative correlations between the
time spent using a computer on weekends and the number of letters
children can identify correctly, as well as between the time spent using a
smartphone on weekends and children’s graphomotor skills.
