Abstract

Toddlers, Tech and Talk is an ESRC-funded project about 0-3-year-old children’s language and literacy learning at home in a digital age (2022-2024). This is the only contemporary project reporting in depth and at scale on how digital technologies intersect with the home lives of very young children and their families across the UK. The findings from this study are rich in their breadth and depth. This summary report introduces some of the main themes that we have identified, along with ‘bitesize’ snippets of data that convey a flavour of our findings.
