Sample size 1, but I've got a kid. I've got an ipad. I put the two together in with supervision, and what I've got now is a 4 year old that reads the walls in the bathroom stall while she's pooping.

I don't know if this is "better" or what you had in mind as "gains", but it's certainly entertaining for me!

Its great that you are able to supervise your own two kids while they engage in screentime, I’m talking about in school, where in a lot of cases, a teacher is trying to supervise 20+ kids. Its great if there are laptops for students who maybe cant afford a computer and wordprocessor software at home, but textbooks and lectures seem to work effectively.

My daughter could do the same at that age, and basically never got screen time. I don't think screen time has anything to do with it, it's just dependent on the child, parental involvement, and how much you read in the house.
