Abstract

This study focuses on how Skype interactive book talks support literacy learning in young children. The research conducted was observing kindergarten students during four Skype sessions, sending out parent questionnaires and interviewing students. The findings show technology enhances student learning by motivating students to learn and engaging them in diverse activities that integrate different learning styles. Teachers should increase their use of technology in the classroom to advance student learning and provide the necessary skills that students need to function in a technological society.
