Dialogic Reading

What is Dialogic Reading?

The technique of dialogic reading has been shown to engage the child and shift from a passive audience to becoming a “co-creator of the meaning of the story” (Kim & Riley, 2021, p. 3).

EXAMPLE

pausing while reading!

Then make comments!

this engages the child with questions about the story and pictures, or links to the child’s own life.

REMEMBER

Parents should guide and encourage the child to “repeat new words, and to finish the sentences of well-known stories” (Kim & Riley, 2021, p. 3).
For example, "Green Eggs and ____" (Ham!)
