Shared Book Reading

Shared book reading is when a speech-language pathologist, teacher, parent/guardian, or other communication partner interactively shares or reads a book to an individual. This helps provide an opportunity to develop skills in language and literacy at the same time. Anderson (1985) stated, “the single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children. This is especially so during the preschool years” (p.23).
