ABSTRAK Pendekatan membacakan buku cerita oleh guru akan membantu anak meningkatkan keterampilan kognitifnya dalam memahami cerita yang dibacakan sebelum memasuki tahapan pembaca mandiri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara pendekatan shared book reading(SBR) dan pemahaman anak terhadap cerita. Penelitian ini menggunakan within subject designdengan melakukan kontrol kondisi untuk membandingkan skor pemahaman anak terhadap cerita pada masing-masing kondisi yang diberikan. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini adalah 4 orang guru dan 21 orang anak (rentang usia 4-5 tahun)di Satuan PAUD Sejenis (SPS). Data kuantitatif yang diperoleh mengenai pemahaman anak terhadap cerita dianalisa menggunakan uji sign test. Penelitian ini juga memberikan pelatihan pada guru serta melakukan pengukuran terhadap keterampilan guru. Pengukuran pemahaman anak terhadap cerita dan keterampilan guru dalam menggunakan pendekatan saat membacakan buku cerita dilakukan sebanyak tiga kali pada tahap pre-test,post test 1dan post test 2, untuk melihat peningkatan yang terjadi setelah pemberian intervensi.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan skor pemahaman anak terhadap cerita saat guru membacakan cerita dengan pendekatan SBR dengan nilai probabilitas .05, yaitu 0.01. Hasil tersebut berbanding lurus dengan peningkatan skor keterampilan yang diperoleh guru setelah diberikan pelatihan pendekatan SBR yang ditampilkan di dalam grafik. Kata kunci: pemahaman anak terhadap cerita; anak 4-5 tahun; guru; pendekatan membaca SBR; pelatihan. ABSTRACT Certain reading approach used by the teacher will help children to improve their cognitive skills in understanding the stories that has been read, before entering the independent reader stage. This study aims to investigate the relationship between shared book reading (SBR) approach and children's story comprehension. This study used within group design by controlling condition to compare children’s story comprehension score in each condition given. Participants in this study were 4 teachers and 21 children aged 4-5 years old from an early childhood education unit or Satuan Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) which is categorized as Satuan PAUD Sejenis (SPS). A sign test was employed to analyze the quantitative data gained about children’s story comprehension. This study also provides training for teachers as well as measuring teacher’s skills. The measurement of children’s story comprehension and teachers’s skill in reading book to children was conducted three time, in pre-test, post-test 2, and post-test 2, to perceive the skill’s improvement. The findings of this study indicated that there was an increase in children's story comprehension when teacher read the story with SBR approach by showing probability value of 0.05, which is 0.01. These results were directly proportional to the increase in skills scores obtained by teachers after training in the SBR approach shown in the graph. Keywords: children’s story comprehension; 4-5 years old children; teacher; SBR approach; training.

Book reading is an important factor contributing to children’s cognitive development and education for sustainable development. However, in a developing country like Vietnam, statistics have reported a low figure in book reading: only 1.2 books a year. This research study used a dataset of 1676 observations of junior high school students from Northern Vietnam to explore students’ reading behavior and its association with demographic factors, and the family’s reading culture. Data analysis suggests the older the student gets, the less inclined they are to read, and being female and having hobbies of low sensory stimulation are linked to higher preference for reading. Regarding scholarly culture at home, students who read more varied types of books and spend more time on books are correlated with higher reading interest. Reading habits are also positively reinforced by the capacity to access books and parental book reading.

ABSTRACTThis study examined (a) the relationship between gesture and speech produced by children with specific language impairment (SLI) and typically developing (TD) children, and their mothers, during shared book-reading, and (b) the potential effectiveness of gestures accompanying maternal speech on the conversational responsiveness of children. Fifteen preschoolers with expressive SLI were compared with fifteen age-matched and fifteen language-matched TD children. Child and maternal utterances were coded for modality, gesture type, gesture–speech informational relationship, and communicative function. Relative to TD peers, children with SLI used more bimodal utterances and gestures adding unique information to co-occurring speech. Some differences were mirrored in maternal communication. Sequential analysis revealed that only in the SLI group maternal reading accompanied by gestures was significantly followed by child's initiatives, and when maternal non-informative repairs were accompanied by gestures, they were more likely to elicit adequate answers from children. These findings support the ‘gesture advantage’ hypothesis in children with SLI, and have implications for educational and clinical practice.

Abstract This study examines the relationship between mothers’ use of gestures and the lexical production of their children, measured in a joint book-reading task. Fifteen mother-child dyads participated, all monolingual native speakers of Mexican Spanish. Children were boys and girls with typical development, aged 48 months. Each reading session was videotaped and analyzed to calculate the gestural production of mothers and the lexical production of children. The results showed a significant positive correlation between the number of mothers’ gestures and the number of distinct words used by the children. Mothers’ gestural communication was related to the size of the vocabulary children produced in joint book-reading.

This chapter examines the relationship between teachers' picture story book reading activities and 48- to 60-month-old children's language development and to identify the effect of different variables on this relationship. The study sample was composed of 208 children in classrooms for 48- to 60-month-old children and 10 teachers in five independent pre-schools in the province of Kırşehir. The data obtained in the study were analyzed by using appropriate statistical methods. Based on the study results, a significant relationship was identified between pre-school teachers' picture story book reading activities during their daily programs and language development of children. The result of the study presents the importance of picture story book reading activities for language development. Longitudinal studies that will investigate teachers' and parents' involvement in picture story book reading activities in detail and development of programs that will support children's language development are suggested in the chapter.

Book reading appears to be a highly revered and widely practiced home and school routine within and across literate western cultures. This study examined the relationship between home practices and expected children’s production. We assumed the contribution of home literacy patterns such as storytelling to have a predictive value on the development of children’s narrative productions as one facet of children’s literacy development. To this end, we set out to investigate similarities and differences in the profile of parental narrative input and children’s narrative productions. We first looked at the structural and organizational characteristics of adult-child and child-adult narratives and the relationship between the two in terms of its narrative forms and functions. Then we analyzed the interaction during narratives to — and by- children to other adults. The participants of this study were 64 parent-child dyads recruited into three age groups. Parents were asked to tell their child a picture-book story and the children were asked to tell the same story to an adult experimenter. The stories were recorded and transcribed. The data were coded into structural and interactive categories and analyzed between parent and children productions and across the three age groups. The results showed a complex relationship between parental narrative input and child-adult output. While parental narrative input resembles child narrative input, this resemblance grows stronger as the child gets older. Yet the differences between parental and child narrative input may be motivated by the child’s linguistic, narrative and social development.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between prospective teachers’ metacognitive reading strategies and their reading habits. The study was designed in correlation model. The sample of the study was determined by simple random sampling. The sample of the study consists of 506 prospective teachers out of which 255 are on Primary Education and 249 are on Preschool Education. In the research, Book Reading Habit Attitude Scale and Metacognitive Reading Strategies Scale were used as data collection tools. While there is no significant difference in the reading habits of the prospective teachers, there is a significant difference in the use of metacognitive strategies in favor of the female prospective teachers. The reading habits of prospective teachers and the extent to which they use metacognitive reading strategies do not differ by department and grade level. In addition, it was found that there was a moderately significant relationship between prospective teachers' use of metacognitive reading strategies and the level of reading habits.
