Abstract

This study explores the application and impact of digitization in literacy instruction for primary school students in Nanning, Guangxi, China. As digital technologies are increasingly integrated into educational practice, it is particularly important to understand their role in literacy instruction. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, we examined the various digital tools and resources used by teachers and students and the effectiveness of these technologies in promoting literacy skills. The results show that the integration of digital platforms not only promotes personalized learning experiences but also enhances student engagement. In addition, we discuss the challenges faced by educators in adapting to these new approaches, including the need for professional development and adequate technological infrastructure. This study contributes to the ongoing discussion of educational innovation and highlights the importance of adapting literacy instruction strategies to the requirements of the digital age. Ultimately, our study highlights the need to embrace digitization as a key component of literacy education development in primary schools in Nanning and beyond.
