In today's world where technology has become the center of life after online games, instructional videos and distance education, children also benefit from digital opportunities to read books. While you can access hundreds of books on different subjects in the digital library, it also reinforces the habit of reading.
With the spread of online education and digital literacy, the popularity of e-book platforms is also increasing. According to the report prepared by London-based research company Technavio, the global e-book market is expected to reach a value of $ 2027 billion by 8,3. Evaluating the issue, Okuvaryum Founder Esat Uğurlu said, “With the development of technology, many people around the world benefit from smartphones and tablets in their daily routine work. We offer our readers hundreds of books on different subjects and levels in our application to help our children born in the digital age acquire the habit of reading at a young age.
Stating that the main factors in the rapid development and growth of e-book platforms are fast and easy access to quality content, suitability for different interests, and reaching readers at a much more affordable price than printed books, Esat Uğurlu said that it is much easier for children to turn reading into a habit with the devices they already use. "We are creating a diversity of resources that appeal to children's own interests with a fun application and hundreds of different stories," he said.
“Children can choose the one that best suits their interests among hundreds of stories”
Underlining that reading books helps to enrich children's imagination, develop their empathy and language skills, Founder of Okuvaryum Esat Uğurlu said, “Parents often ask themselves how they can make their children love reading. The use of digital platforms as a source along with printed materials has now become a requirement of the age. We host hundreds of book options for children on our platform by taking advantage of the impact and nurturing aspect of digitalization. Children both have a pleasant time and gain the habit of reading on the devices they use constantly, such as tablets and smartphones. With our new collaboration, Yapı Kredi Publishing's highly acclaimed children's books have also taken their place on our platform.”
“We observe universal ethical values”
Underlining that reading skills should be developed on the basis of interpretation, transfer, criticism and production, Okuvaryum Founder Esat Uğurlu said, “We take care to include universal ethical values in the stories in our application, which can be accessed without ads, so that children can better focus on what they read, and arouse emotions in children. The fact that our stories have sound, music and effects attracts the attention of children. The aesthetic perception of children who see different drawings also develops. In order to provide a better platform service to our children, we continue to improve our variety of books, visuals and reading aloud contents.
