Joint Book-Reading Strategies in Working-Class African American and White Mother-Toddler Dyads.

Anderson-Yockel, Julie; Haynes, William O.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v37 n3 p583-93 Jun 1994

Ten white and 10 African American working-class mother-toddler dyads were videotaped during joint book readings and compared. Many similarities between cultural groups were found. Differences included African American mothers who used fewer questioning behaviors; white children who produced more question-related communications; and African American children who produced more spontaneous verbalizations.
