The purpose of this study was to examine whether dialogic reading, an evidence based intervention involving interactive storybook reading, improved the basic concept knowledge of preschool children using flap books or storyline books. A multiple baseline design was used with four children to teach eight basic concepts. Concepts were identified for each child from the Boehm Test of Basic Concepts (Boehm, 2001) and embedded within the two different types of books, flap and storyline books, to determine if the type of book would have an intervention effect on vocabulary learning. A positive change in basic concept comprehension was demonstrated on the Boehm Test of Basic Concepts (Boehm, 2001) following implementation of dialogic reading strategies using flap books and basic storyline books indicating that overall the intervention was effective. However, the implications of the results regarding the type of storybook most appropriate for the intervention are not clear. Further research is warranted on the use of flap books and dialogic reading. / A Thesis submitted to the School of Communication Science and Disorders in partial
