What style is best when reading to your preschooler?

June 9, 2014 by gravitybread Filed Under: Books and Mealtime, Research Tuesday Articles

Learning to read EnglishDo you want to help your child learn how to read? Use a print referencing style when reading aloud to your child.

According to research, young children spend less than 6% of read aloud time looking at print unless an adult deliberately highlights print for them (Williams & Pursoo, 2008). According to Justice et al., 2008, “When preschool age children are reading with a print referencing style every day for 10 minutes they may fixate on print 20,000 times more often than children who are read to in a way that does not draw attention to print.”  I found this fact amazing! 20,000 is very significant!

To learn more about how to use print referencing with your child, read my ebook here.
