Research: Can television be good for children?
1 Apr 2007
This report, commissioned by Save Kids' TV, looked at research that supports the view that TV, in some circumstances, can be a powerful educational tool, that it can inform and inspire and that it is culturally relevant to today's children. The review includes a section on Television and children's language acquisition, which includes consideration of the impact on vocabulary acquisition, age-appropriate programmes and adult involvement.
