Before we proceed…

Dialogic Reading Technique/method where the child becomes the storyteller over time. The role of the adult is to prompt the children with questions, expand the child’s responses, and praise/recognize the child’s efforts to retell the story and name objects and actions in the book. Research shows us how we read to children is just as important as how frequently we read to them.

Dialogic Reading Method Research-based Benefits ALL children Easily implemented by teachers and parents

Research improved their expressive language abilities and increased their vocabularies and sentence length were better able to identify sounds and letters enhanced knowledge of print concepts (e.g. distinguishing among words, pictures, and numbers) demonstrated emergent writing skills (e.g. printing from left- to-right, distinguishing between uppercase and lowercase letters, and writing their own names) Dialogic reading has produced significant gains in language development and retained them over time.

Dialogic Reading “No one can learn to play the piano just by listening to someone else play. Likewise, no one can learn to read just by listening to someone else read. Children learn most from books when they are actively involved.” from “What is Dialogic Reading?” in Reading Rockets

Reminders In VE classes, we are considering “at capacity” 12 AM and 12 PM (total 24 students). Schools cannot refuse a child placement based on age (i.e. trying to keep AM class for 3- year-olds/PM class for 4-year-olds) Also, PLEASE let us know if you are considered “at capacity” and a child moves. We are diligently trying to stay current with class count and need your help!
