Reading Storybooks to Kindergartners Helps Them Learn New Vocabulary Words.
Robbins, Claudia; Ehri, Linnea C.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v86 n1 p54-64 Mar 1994
In individual sessions, 51 kindergartners listened to an adult read the same storybook twice, 2 to 4 days apart, and then completed a test of knowledge of unfamiliar words from the study. Findings confirm that story listening contributes modestly to vocabulary growth, although four exposures to words appear necessary. (SLD)
