What we are going to present today:Basic Concepts of Dialogic Book ReadingImplementation of Dialogic Book Reading in Indonesian EYL Context: Teachers & Childrens Perspectives Conclusion & Recommendation

What Is Dialogic Book Reading?A particular form of shared book reading in which the child becomes the storyteller while the adult becomes an active listener and questioner

In this reading activity, adult and child have a conversation about a book(Whitehurst, 1992; Zevenbergen & Whitehurst, 2003)

Why Is It a Recommended Practice?Children learn most from books when they are actively involved (Whitehurst, 1992)

Reading interventions that more actively involve children are likely to give more positive benefits (Trivette & Dunst, 2007)

Dialogic reading increased childrens vocabulary gain and expressive language skills (Zevenbergen & Whitehurst, 2003)

Dialogic reading activity provides potential opportunities for learning vocabulary and sentence structure (Ping, 2011)

How to Do Dialogic Book Reading?PEER StrategiesPrompting: prompt the child to label objects in the book and talk about the storyEvaluating: evaluate the childs responsesExpanding: expand the childs utterances by repeating what the child has said and adding information to it Repeating: encourage the child to repeat the expanded utterances

CROWDCompletion prompt: fill-in-the-blank questionsRecall prompt: remember aspects of the bookOpen- Ended prompt: respond to the book in own wordsWh- prompt: what, where, why questionsDistancing prompt: relate the content of the book to aspects of life outside of the book
