問題詳情

(4) By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can substantially increase their children’slanguage development. It’s surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children’slanguage development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child’slanguage skills increase.A study was done with two-to-three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children participated in theexperimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group the parents were given a two-hourtraining session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes/no questions. For example, theparent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?” rather than “Is the doggie running away?” Experimental parents were alsoinstructed in how to expand on their children’s answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correctanswers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on measures of language development, but at the end of onemonth, the children in the experimental group tested 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expressionand vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over thechildren in the control group.
