  1. Dialogic Reading:A Reading Strategy forPreschoolers

  2. What is Dialogic Reading? • A systematic way to engage children in conversation about a storybook to build children’s language and vocabulary. • The teacher works with a small group of children at a time so that each child can see the pictures in the book and the teacher can engage inconversation with each child.

  3. What’s the difference? • When most adults share a book with a preschooler, they read and the child listens. • In dialogic reading, the adult helps the child become the teller of the story. The adult becomes the listener, the questioner, the audience for the child. • Children learn most from books when they are actively involved.

  4. Dialogic Reading Works • Children who have been read to dialogically are substantially ahead of children who have been read to traditionally on tests of language development. • Children can jump ahead by several months in just a few weeks of dialogic reading. • Over a third of children in the U.S. enter school unprepared to learn. They lack the vocabulary, sentence structure, and other basic skills that are required to do well in school. Children who start behind generally stay behind – they drop out, they turn off. Their lives are at risk. • Source: Read Together, Talk Together by Whitehurst

  5. Dialogic Reading Framework

  6. The fundamental reading technique in dialogic reading is the PEER sequence.

  7. Five Type of Prompts for PEER Sequence

  8. Completion Prompts • You leave a blank at the end of a sentence and get the child to fill it in. • These are typically used in books with rhyme or books with repetitive phases. For example, you might say, “Brown bear, brown bear what do you ____," letting the child fill in the blank with the word see.

  9. Recall Prompts • These are questions about what happened in a book a child has already read. • Recall prompts work for nearly everything except alphabet books. For example, you might say, “What are some animals in this book?”

  10. Open-ended Prompts • These prompts can focus on the pictures in books. It should generate more than a single word response • For example, while looking at a page in a book that the child is familiar with, you might say, “What is your favorite animal? What do you like about it?"

  11. Wh- Prompts • These prompts usually begin with what, where, when, why, and how questions. • For example, you might say, “What animal is this?" while pointing to the picture in the book. “What sound would it make? Where would it live?”

  12. Distancing Prompts • These ask children to relate the pictures or words in the book they are reading to experiences outside the book. • For example, while looking at a book with a picture of animals on a farm, you might say something like, "Remember when we went to the farm. Which of these animals did we see there?"

  13. How Do I Implement Dialogic Reading? • The following readings are in a small group ideally no larger then six students. • Depending on what works best for your classroom, it’s important to plan what the other students will be doing.

  14. What kind of books work best? Books that • have clear pictures • have a simple story • are not too long • have pictures of things that are familiar to your class • show action and detail in the pictures • are interesting to your class

  15. Building Your Prompts • Write prompts on post its and place throughout your selected book.
