Dialogic reading is an evidence-based practice for preschool children who are typically developing or at-risk (WWC, 2007). However, there is limited research to evaluate if dialogic reading has similar positive effects on the language and preliteracy skills of preschool children with disabilities (WWC, 2010). This quasi-experimental study examined the effects of dialogic reading, with the incorporation of pause time, on the language and preliteracy skills of 42 preschool children with disabilities within 5 inclusive and 7 self-contained preschool classrooms. Following random assignment of students at the level of the classrooms, participants were equally distributed into an intervention (n=21) and a comparison group (n=21). The intervention consisted of dialogic reading, with the incorporation of pause time, based on the Read Together, Talk Together (RTTT; Pearson Early Learning, 2006) program kit. The targeted outcomes were receptive language skills, expressive language skills, and preliteracy skills. Children received either dialogic reading or typical storybook reading for 10 to 15 minutes per day, three days per week, for six weeks (i.e., 18 sessions in total) in small groups. The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-4th Edition (PPVT-4; Dunn & Dunn, 2007), Expressive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test-4th Edition (EOWPVT-4; Martin & Brownell, 2011), Get Ready to Read!-Revised (GRTR-R; Whitehurst & Lonigan, 2010), and the ‘Which One Doesn’t Belong’ and Picture Naming subtests of the Individual Growth and Development Indicators of Early Literacy (IGDIs-EL; McConnell, Bradfield, Wackerle-Hollman, & Rodriquez, 2012) were used as pre and posttest assessments. A researcher developed near transfer test of receptive and expressive vocabulary words was also administered pre and post intervention to determine if words specifically targeted during the intervention were learned. These standardized and researcher developed measures were analyzed with one-way ANCOVAs, using pretest scores and age as covariates to determine within and between group differences. The Johnson-Neyman procedure was utilized as necessary when violations of heterogeneity of slopes occurred. Following the intervention period, children in the intervention group scored significantly higher on the receptive and expressive near transfer vocabulary assessments. This occurred both for words that were specifically targeted during dialogic reading, as well as additional vocabulary words in the storybook.

This study explored the reading habits and dialogic book reading practices in parents of preschool-aged children. Early literacy practices in the home influence the development of language skills and academic learning of children. These practices were explored by directly by asking parents to reflect and report on their literacy habits in the home setting. It specifically addresses current reading behaviors that parents implement when reading with their child and observations of their child's attention and involvement during book-sharing sessions. This study was part of a larger study focusing on developing and implementing dialogic reading workshops for parents. A survey with 36 parent-report questions was distributed to parents across the United States via social media. Parents were asked to identify specific demographic variables and rate their perceptions of reading habits, interactive reading strategies used with their child, and library use. Following survey completion, 83 responses were analyzed. Key findings included consistent use of positive parent-child reading behaviors and the influence of parent characteristics. Parents consistently reported feeling confident or somewhat confident in reading with their child and consistent use of reading strategies in the home. Future research should study additional demographic variables. The results from this study will be used to inform a larger study of dialogic reading trainings with parents.

The study examined Latino/Hispanic mother-child interactions and shared book reading behaviors before and after participation in a random-assignment Spanish web-based responsive parenting intervention called Play and Learning Strategies (ePALS), as compared with a Spanish web-based developmental assessment intervention (DAS). The efficacy of PALS was previously demonstrated for improving mother and child behaviors within play contexts, everyday activities, and standardized measures of child language. We did not observe statistical changes in mother-child interactions as measured by the Bilingual Child-Mother Coder Impression; but changes were observed in shared reading interactions as measured by the Adult-Child Interactive Reading Inventory. Mothers enrolled in ePALS slightly increased some reading interactive behaviors, while mothers enrolled in DAS decreased on the use of interactive reading skills. Children enrolled in ePALS significantly increased in their use of interactive reading behaviors, while children’s interactive reading skills in the DAS conditions decreased. These results add to the dual language learners’ literature base, but also add to the supporting importance of targeting responsive behaviors in everyday activities such as shared-reading to facilitate children’s development. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

Undersökningar har visat på ett minskat läsintresse bland barn och unga de senaste åren, samtidigt som samhället kräver en utvecklad läsförmåga. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka vad forskning säger om vilka faktorer som påverkar lågstadieelevers läslust och vilka effekterna är av de metoder som används för att väcka elevers läslust i klassrummet. Denna litteraturstudie består av de två forskningsfrågorna: ”Vad säger forskningen om vilka faktorer som påverkar läslusten i lågstadieklassrum?” och ”Vad säger forskningen om de metoder som används för att väcka lågstadieelevers läslust i klassrummet och om vilka effekter de har?”. För insamling av data gjordes sökningar i databaser, där sökord användes för att hitta forskning relevant för studiens syfte.  Artiklarna som presenteras i studien har analyserats utifrån en tematisk analys, där kodning av data resulterade i fyra teman. Resultatet visar att klassrumsmiljö och elevinflytande är faktorer som påverkar elevers läslust i klassrummet. Av resultatet framgår det även att interaktiv läsning och läsaktiviteter i klassrummet bidrar till ökad motivation bland eleverna. Samtidigt talar forskning för att lärare har ett stort ansvar i att se till elevers olika förutsättningar när de väljer aktiviteter i syfte att utveckla elevers läsning. Betydelsen av lärares inflytande, såsom att vara en förebild och att ta hänsyn till elevers olika förutsättningar, är också något som framkommer av resultaten i denna studie. / Surveys have shown a reduced interest in reading among children and young people in recent years, while society demands a developed reading ability. The purpose of this study was to investigate what research says about what influences the love of reading among primary school students and what the effects are on methods used to increase reading motivation in classrooms. This literature review consists of the two research questions: “What does research say about which factors influence the love of reading in primary classrooms?” and “What does research say about methods used in classrooms to arouse interest in reading among students and about what effects they have?” For data collection, searches were conducted in databases, in which keywords were used to find research relevant to the aim of this study. The articles presented in this study were analyzed through a thematic analysis, where coding of data resulted in four themes. The result shows that the design of the classroom and student influence are factors that affects the reading motivation in the classroom. It is also shown in the results that interactive reading and reading activities in the classroom increases reading motivation among students. The importance of teachers’ influence, such as being a role model and taking students’ different needs into account when choosing activities, is also something that emerges from the results of this study.

Also, we tried to clarify how the process of information occurs, according to the reference of Cognitive Psychology, to a significant learning that can be received by the use of reading strategies. As a result, it was possible to know the practices of reading development, and we noted that the involved teachers don t have knowledge of the cognitive aspects involved in the act of reading and, therefore, there isn t systematic way of using the strategies of before, during and after of reading. The activities of reading, in turn, are based on a conception of learning that prioritizes the decoding, no, so the interaction necessary for the construction of understanding, resulting in learning to read mechanically, devoid of meaning and significance. Because this practice doesn t promote the necessary interaction between the learner's prior knowledge and what he still doesn t know, it makes the processing of information and understanding disadvantage. We hope this study may contribute to the reflection of the practices of reading comprehension, allowing to understood like the object of teaching and learning, and thus be aware of the widespread use of reading strategies in all curriculum components / Considerando a competência leitora como principal ferramenta de acesso e transformação de informações em conhecimento e dada a sua relevância no desenvolvimento da aprendizagem, foi realizado este estudo com o objetivo de, a partir do depoimento obtido em três entrevistas, com três professoras, de 4ª série do Ensino Fundamental I, de uma escola pública da rede estadual de ensino da cidade de São Paulo, identificar, explicitar, analisar e compreender as estratégias de leitura utilizadas, discutindo-as à luz da perspectiva interativa de leitura. Outrossim, busca-se esclarecer como ocorre o processamento das informações, segundo o referencial da Psicologia Cognitiva, objetivando uma aprendizagem significativa, que poderá se beneficiar com o uso das estratégias de leitura. Como resultado, foi possível conhecer as práticas de leitura desenvolvidas, bem como verificar que as professoras participantes não possuem conhecimento dos aspectos cognitivos envolvidos no ato de ler e, por essa razão, não utilizam de forma sistematizada, as estratégias do antes, durante e depois da leitura. As atividades de leitura, por sua vez, são fundamentadas em uma concepção de aprendizagem que prioriza a decodificação, não havendo, portanto, a interação necessária para a construção da compreensão, tendo como resultado uma aprendizagem de leitura mecânica, desprovida de sentido e significado. Em razão dessa prática, não promover a interação necessária entre os conhecimentos prévios do educando e o que ele ainda não conhece, a mesma dificulta o processamento da informação e desfavorece a compreensão. Espera-se que este estudo possa contribuir para a reflexão das práticas de compreensão leitora, permitindo que esta seja entendida como objeto de ensino e de aprendizagem, e, assim, seja difundido o conhecimento do uso das estratégias de leitura em todos os componentes curriculares

在台灣的英文學習環境中， 閱讀能力ㄧ向被視為學習中最重要的ㄧ環 ， 然而， 閱讀所帶來的沉重負擔， 讓許多學生在有限的教學時數之下往往成為了犧牲品，特別是低成就者。班上參差不齊的英文程度,也對老師造成了教學上極大的困擾。 本研究旨在探討 ，以合作式學習法來縮短學習者程度上的差異，進而提升整體的閱讀能力。此外, 互動式閱讀技巧也分別在實驗組與控制組中教授， 以檢視其對閱讀能力的影響。 參與本研究的學生為 79名台北某公立高中的兩班九十四學年度高一新生， 實驗組施以合作式學習法，控制組則為傳統老師講授的方式， 兩組在同一時間內閱讀同一本教科書， 並分別施以前測， 後測。 最後， 並再針對所有研究對象施以問卷調查， 以期了解研究對象對合作式學習法及互動式閱讀技巧之回應。此外, 老師上課的觀察紀錄及小組的檢視表也一併在本研究中被採用。 本研究的結果摘要如下: 1. 在學生閱讀成就方面，實驗組以漸進的方式，最後超越控制組。 2. 在一學期互動式閱讀技巧實施之後， 研究對象之閱讀能力明顯提升。 3. 在實驗組中 ，高、中、 低成就者對合作式學習法展現許多雷同與少許差異的反應，但整體而言，皆傾向於正面的肯定。 4. 閱讀技巧在實驗組與控制組中似有明顯之差異， 顯見研究對象會依教學活動採取不同的閱讀技巧。 根據研究結果， 本論文擬提出對現行高中閱讀教學之建議，俾為教師及未來研究者提供參考。 / In an EFL environment in Taiwan, reading is regarded as the most essential skill. However, for most students, abundance in reading material makes them feel stressful--especially the weaker ones who tend to be sacrificed due to limited instruction time. For teachers, how to deal with a big mixed-level class has therefore become the most important task. An aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of cooperative language learning (CLL) skills in bridging gap among students with differing academic abilities and in enhancing students' overall reading comprehension. In addition, the interactive reading approach was adopted in both the experimental and the control groups to examine its effect upon them. Participants of this study included 79 tenth-graders from two intact classes in one public senior high school in Taipei in the fall semester of 2005. The experimental group was engaged in three CLL activities and the control group was instructed in the traditional teacher-centered methods. Both groups were taught by the researcher with the interactive reading approach. During the span of this study, the participants in both groups were assigned to read nine lessons from the textbook. In the meantime, they were instructed under the CLL methods and the traditional teacher-centered methods respectively. Besides, they were given a pretest and four posttests during and after the study. In time, two questionnaires were adopted: one for investigating the reading strategies used by the participants in both groups and the other for measuring the CLL group participants' attitudes and responses of the CLL group toward CLL teaching. Besides, the teacher's classroom observation and the group processing checklists were also employed in this study. After four months of experiment, the main results of this study can now be summarized as follows: 1. The experimental group gradually outscored the control group on the reading comprehension test during the experiment. 2. The participants’ reading comprehension ability improved significantly after the implementation of interactive reading approach. 3. The results showed some similarities and differences among the high/low achievers and the average students in their perceptions toward the CLL. However, the participants' attitudes toward and responses to CLL may be described as being supportive and positive. 4. The adoption of reading strategies seemed diverse between the two groups. On the whole, when exposed to different teaching activities, the participants adopted different reading strategies accordingly. This study concludes that the effects of CLL might be better than those of individual learning in a big class on senior high school students' reading proficiency. It also suggests that the interactive reading approach can be used to enhance senior high school students' reading ability.

A partir das concepções de leituras que orientam os professores, buscamos concepções teórico-práticas no ensino da leitura. Para efetivarmos este propósito, trabalhamos com as teorias da Linguística Textual (LT), Teoria da Enunciação e Análise do Discurso (AD) como subsídios para o professor conhecê-las e a partir de então, elaborarmos estratégias de leituras distintas, em especial, dos romances. Nossa meta foi apresentar leitura como prática sócio interacionista, dialógica, histórica, cultural e social e que representa um processo lento e que depreende tempo para finalidade última, que seja uma prática do conhecimento intelectual e autoria. Para tanto nos respaldamos nos trabalhos de ORLANDI (1978,2012), KOCH (2011.2012,2013), KLEIMAN (2011,2012,2013), TFOUNI (2010), CORACINI (2005), INDURSKY (2010), YUNES (2005), MARCUSCHI (2010), entre tantos outros que nos inspiraram no papel do leitor ativo, de natureza interativa por meio da mobilização dos sentidos do texto, do diálogo e de interdiscursos que perpassam o texto e constitui o processo de leitura. As estratégias de leitura iniciaram-se em sala de aula, com atividades e oficinas denominados espetáculos da leitura, seminários, teatro, esquetes e curtas metragens. Desta forma conduzimos nossos alunos à escrita com finalidade de produção de teatro e cinema, no qual os alunos elaboram os roteiros a partir dos romances para atuarem. Avaliando a situação inicial e final das turmas sob orientação dos professores embasados nas teorias, consideramos que as proposições contribuíram para práticas de leituras como uma atividade social e interacional, com vistas a superação de práticas de leituras insuficientes no contexto escolar, visto que houve avanço com um bom percentual de leitores/alunos. / This research, exploratory, descriptive and applied, aimed to observe and evaluate the reading competence of students of the Police College High School Military Alfredo Viana. From the conceptions of readings that guide teachers, we seek theoretical and practical concepts in reading instruction. Efetivarmos for this purpose, we work with theories of linguistics Textual (LT), Theory of Enunciation and Discourse Analysis (AD) as subsidies for the teacher to know them and from then on, elaborate strategies of different readings, in particular the novels. Our goal was to present reading as a practice partner interactional, dialogical, historical, cultural and social, and that is a slow process and that appears from time to ultimate goal, which is a practice of intellectual authorship and knowledge. For both we support the work of ORLANDI (1978.2012), KOCH (2011.2012,2013), KLEIMAN (2011,2012,2013), TFOUNI (2010), Coracini (2005), Indursky (2010), YUNES (2005) Marcuschi (2010), among many others that inspired us in the role of active player, interactive nature through the mobilization of the text directions, dialogue and interdiscursos that underlie the text and is the reading process. The reading strategies started in the classroom with activities and workshops called reading shows, seminars, theater, skits and short films. In this way we conduct our students with the written purpose of theater and film production, in which students draw up roadmaps from novels to act. Assessing the initial situation and end of classes under the guidance of teachers grounded in theories, we believe that the proposals contributed to reading practices as a social and interactional activity with a view to overcoming practices of insufficient readings in the school context, since there has been progress with a good percentage of readers / students.

Del 1 På uppdrag av Stockholms stads kulturförvaltning och Kista bibliotek har vi arbetat fram nya lösningar för att engagera unga killar i Kista i bibliotekets verksamhet. Målgruppen unga killar mellan 13-19 år valdes då denna grupp i stor utsträckning saknas på biblioteket idag. Genom fokusgrupper och samtal med ungdomarna har vi fått insikter om deras önskemål. Dessa insikter har bearbetats och lett fram till fyra olika koncept. Vi valde att arbeta vidare med två koncept som vidareutvecklades till konceptet Zon 164. Där ingår vår innovation Läspodden som förhöjer läsupplevelsen och utställningen arketyper. Båda är framtagna lösningar som möter ungdomarnas behov av förebilder, att ha en plats att vara på, att känna gemenskap samt att ha roligt med sina vänner. Genom konceptet Zon 164 hoppas vi att Kista bibliotek kan utmana föreställningen om vad läsning samt biblioteksverksamhet är och bli en plats där unga killar i större utsträckning känner sig delaktiga. Del 2 För att fortsätta arbetet med Läspodden utfördes en mer djupgående analys i syfte att undersöka huruvida Läspoddens egenskaper faktiskt förhöjde läsupplevelsen eller inte samt huruvida Läspodden främjade återgivning av information. Två separata studier, kvantitativa och kvalitativa, utfördes på två grupper om 33 och 10 personer. Resultaten från den första undersökningen visar på att användande av Läspodden upplevs som positiv och att läsupplevelsen ansågs bli förhöjd. Resultaten från den andra undersökningen visade ett svagt positivt samband mellan användning av Läspodden och informationsåtervinning, men inga slutsatser kring kausalitet kan dras. / Part 1 On behalf of the Stockholm City Cultural Administration and Kista Library, we have worked out new solutions to engage young guys in Kista in the library's daily activities. The target group of young guys between the ages of 13-19 was chosen as this group is mainly missing from the library today. Through focus groups and conversations with young people, we have gained insight into their wishes. These insights have been processed and led to four different concepts. We chose to work on two concepts that were further developed into the concept Zone 164. This includes our innovation, the reading pod, which enhances the reading experience and the exhibition archetypes. Both are developed solutions that meet young people's need for role models, to have a place to be, to feel community, and to have fun with their friends. Through the Zone 164 concept, we hope that Kista Library can challenge the notion of what reading and library activities are and become a place where young guys can feel more involved. Part 2 In order to continue the work with the reading pod, a more in-depth analysis was carried out to investigate whether the properties of the reading pod enhanced the reading experience or not and whether the reading pod promoted the reproduction of information. Two separate studies, quantitative and qualitative, were conducted on two groups of 33 and 10 persons. The results of the first study show that the use of the reading pod is perceived as positive and that the reading experience was considered to be enhanced. The results of the second study showed a weak positive relationship between the use of the reading pod and information retrieval, but no conclusions about causality can be drawn.
