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.engPreschool ageDigital mediaSchool readinessGraphomotor skillsLogical reasoningLetter knowledgebook parthttps://doi.org/10.34629/ipl.eselx.cap.livros.016
