Reading with children provides valuable opportunities for enriching vocabulary, comprehension, and conversation. Viewers will learn strategies for maximizing these foundational skills through shared book reading. They will also find out how to increase children's understanding of concepts of print, how books work, and the wonders of letters and words on a page.

BUILDING BLOCKS FOR LITERACY®
Shared book reading is:Reading books
Talking about booksInteracting with
books
Children learn that printed words are symbols for spoken words!
Children learn how to use booksFront and back
Left to rightTop to bottom
Reading to young children was found to have a moderate impact on oral language and print awareness…
National Early Literacy Panel, 2007
…but it did not have a significant influence on phonological awareness, alphabet knowledge, concepts about print or readiness.National Early Literacy Panel, 2007
These concepts need to be taught!
Shared Book Reading may look like:Reading with a friend
A small or large group big book story timeSinging a song from a song chart
Sharing a morning message
Shared Book Reading also may be called:
Read AloudsDialogic Reading
Interactive Book Reading
BUILDING BLOCKS FOR LITERACY®
Shared Book Reading is more than Book Reading
Book Reading versus Shared Book ReadingThe adult reads The child assiststhe book to the child. in telling the story.The adult is the center The child and the adult share in the process. the reading process.
(Kadlic, M., & Lesiak, M. (2003)
Remember Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development ZPD
while talking about books with preschoolers.
Use “Wh” questions to assist in their development:What Where Who When Why
Follow the children’s interests, which will vary widely from child to child.
Expect slightly more of each child each time you read the book.
Keep the interaction light and fun, not a test of what the child has learned.
Adapted from Burns, M., & Griffin, P., & Snow, C., Eds. (1999). Starting Out Right.

“When readers or listeners understand less than 90% of the words in text, they are likely to lose the meaning of that text.” (Beimiller, 2000)
MOREOVER, to comprehend, a student must know the meanings of 90 to 95 percent of the words being read.
(Lyon, 2009)
“Listening and speaking competence is in advance of reading and writing competence.” (Beck et al., 2002)
