Investigated whether specific strategies of commenting or
questioning by the adult reader would influence the complexity and
type of spontaneous comments to story details made by children
listening to stories. Results suggest that parents and teachers
should combine questioning and commenting during storybook readings to
induce lengthier comments by children, as such strategies increase
opportunities for language learning. (AA)
