Topic Control during Shared Storybook Reading: Mothers and Their Children with Language Impairments.

Justice, Laura M.; Kaderavek, Joan N.

Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v23 n3 p137-50 Fall 2003

Control of discourse topic was studied for two book-reading interactions involving 11 dyads of mothers and children (ages 3-5) with language impairments. Topic control was shared during book reading, robust reciprocal associations were evident between maternal and child discourse control features, and three patterns of topic control arrangements characterized individual dyads.
