As Generation Alpha continues to grow and integrate into educational systems worldwide, an alarming trend is emerging: a noticeable decline in kid’s reading abilities. Despite unprecedented access to technology and educational resources, this generation struggles with literacy in ways that earlier generations did not.

According to a 2021 Common Sense Media report, 92% of children under eight in the U.S. have access to digital devices, a number that has since increased. These devices offer instant access to a vast library of texts, including interactive materials, videos and games designed to promote learning.
