Dialogic reading is a technique used to encourage adult readers to prompt children during shared-reading time. According to Blom-Hoffman, O 'Neil-Pirozzi, Volpe, Cutting, & Bissinger (2006), having the child be the storyteller and the adult the facilitator to the child’s verbalizations is the main goal of dialogic reading. Prompting is a way to guide children into the direction of storytelling during shared-reading, while developing print knowledge and phonological awareness, all emergent literacy skills. Emergent literacy skill is the knowledge of reading and writing a child has before they are formally taught how to read and write. Sim, Berthelsen, Walker, Nicholson, and Fielding-Barnsley (2014), in their study held three types of intervention:

The ability to read is not the only required for academic success but the ability to comprehend the reading material and think critically. To successfully have comprehension, there must be a method that organizes the information gathered from the text in away that fits the reader’s world knowledge (Alfassi, 2009, p. 540). This could be considered to be an active reader, due to the fact that they relate previous knowledge to the new content they are reading. Actively putting resources together. Dialogic reading has a prompt that encourages this. In dialogic reading this would be considered distancing prompt, which can be described as when the caregiver asks the child to relate the reading to an experience. It has been found that shared reading is common, but only a little more then 56% of parents teach their children letters, word, or numbers three or more days in a week (Huebner and Payne, 2010, p. 199). This may be due to the fact that some parents may not know how to appropriately read with their children, or ask their children the right …show more content…
According to Reese, Sparks and Leyva (2010) dialogic reading interventions that train parents is effective in developing their child’s receptive vocabulary. Receptive vocabulary can set a foundation for later success in their children’s academic future. Dialogic reading as previously mentioned uses prompting as a form of interactive reading. Prompting styles typically consist of completion prompts, reflection prompts, open-ended questions, wh- questions, and distancing prompts.
Huebner and Payne (2010) conducted a study that parents were taught dialogic reading to promote vocabulary skills, and looked at whether they continued dialogic reading skills as their child grew older. Parents who used dialogic reading skills were found to be more active participants in reading sessions with their child. This making parents a strong participant in the development of their child’s emergent literacy
