Examined effects of two types of storybook reading experiences on
acquisition of vocabulary of 36 preschoolers behind chronological age
in expressive vocabulary. Found that children in the dialogic-reading
condition made significantly larger gains in vocabulary introduced in
the books, as well as gains on a standardized expressive vocabulary
test, than did children in a regular shared book-reading situation.
