Effects of Reading Storybooks Aloud to Children.
Meyer, Linda A.; And Others
Journal of Educational Research, v88 n2 p69-85 Nov-Dec 1994
Presents findings from a longitudinal study of reading comprehension development that revealed a negative relationship between the amount of time kindergarten and first-grade teachers spend reading to their students' reading achievement. Results are discussed in terms of a "displacement theory." Students' reading achievement is related to their actual engagement with print. (SM)
