Dialogic Reading
Using a strategy called dialogic reading can also enhance reading with children. Dialogic reading provides parents the opportunity to extend on the child’s responses to a book by asking children questions about the story, appropriate to the child's level of understanding, and welcoming responses from children. (Hay& Felding-Barnsley, 2007 in Hill, 2012). These exchanges escalate the interactions between the parent and the child. (Dixon-Krauss, Januszka, & Chae 2010).
Dialogic reading has been proven to accelerate development of oral language and developing literacy skills in toddlers and preschool aged children.(Blom-Hoffman, O’Neil-Pirozzi, Volpe, Cutting & Bissinger, 2006). Research (Cutspec, 2006; Doyle & Bramwell, 2006; Kotaman, 2007; Morgan & Meier, 2008; Whitehurst, 1992; Zevenbergen & Reifkofski, n.d. in LaCour, McDonald, Tissington & Thompson, 2013) has supported using dialogic techniques as one the most effective ways to increase children's literacy progression during storybook reading. (LaCour et al., 2013).
Engaging in dialogic reading is a wonderful opportunity for parents to foster children's emerging literacy skills. Interestingly, observational studies have observed most parents do not apply unplanned interactive reading practices with children.(e.g. Britto, Brooks-Gunn, & Griffin, 2006; Laakso, Poikkeus, & Lyytinen, 1999; Silven, Ahtola, & Niemi, 2003 in Mol, Bus, de Jong & Smeets, 2008).
