Research says that iPads can support literacy in nursery, early primary and special education. 

Tablets for kids have a lot to offer in the way of educating children. But what if parents worry about their children's proficiency on a tablet? They can choose educational apps and consider setting a time limit on tablet use. Seldom kids can learn by themselves. Even with smart tablet's assistant, parents still need to spend one-on-one with your children while using tablets.
