Evaluated the effects of a six-week interactive shared-reading
intervention with 3- to 4-year olds from low-income families who
attended subsidized child care. The intervention involved teacher-reading at school, parents-reading at home, both-reading, or a no-treatment control. Found that significant gains on measures of oral
language and language samples were largest for children in conditions
involving home reading. (Author/KB)
