The Differential Effect of Storybook Reading on Preschoolers' Acquisition of Expressive and Receptive Vocabulary.

Senechal, Monique

Journal of Child Language, v24 n1 p123-38 Feb 1997

Evaluates the effect of didactic techniques used during storybook reading on young children's acquisition of new vocabulary introduced in storybooks under three reading conditions: single-reading; repeated-reading and questioning. Findings suggest that didactic techniques used by adults have differential effects on preschoolers' receptive and expressive vocabulary. (32 references) (Author/CK)
