Adult Interactive Strategies and the Spontaneous Comments of Preschoolers During Joint Storybook Readings.

Kertoy, Marilyn K.

Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v9 n1 p58-67 Fall-Win 1994

Investigated whether specific strategies of commenting or questioning by the adult reader would influence the complexity and type of spontaneous comments to story details made by children listening to stories. Results suggest that parents and teachers should combine questioning and commenting during storybook readings to induce lengthier comments by children, as such strategies increase opportunities for language learning.
