- Abstract
- Traditionally, it is believed that children acquire literacy in elementary school, where they are taught to write, read, and count. This is undoubtedly true. However, modern society requires new ways of activity, which require the development of a whole range of skills and abilities in humans—searching for necessary information, processing it, sharing it with others, modeling new objects and processes, and independently planning and organizing their actions. Along with teaching reading, writing, and counting skills, it is important to teach children how to use digital technology as a working tool in their studies and everyday life, starting in first grade.
