Researchers agree that early literacy activities, like book sharing and parent-child play, are important for stimulating language development. We hypothesize that book sharing is most powerful because it elicits more interactive talk in young children than other activities. Parents of 43 infants (9-18 months) made two daylong audio recordings using the LENA system. We compared a typical day, with spontaneous occurring activities, with an instructed day when caregivers were prompted to do book reading and toy play. Book sharing resulted in a combination of more parent talk, child talk, and interactions than other language activities. Research context did not influence outcomes: no differences were found in language use between the spontaneous and the instructed activities. Overall it seems clear that even with infants shared reading is a strong unique stimulator of language use from parent and child.
研究人员一致认为，早期读写活动，如分享书籍和亲子游戏，对于激发语言发展非常重要。我们假设，分享书籍之所以最有效，是因为它比其他活动能引发幼儿更多的互动式对话。43 名婴儿（9-18 个月）的父母使用 LENA 系统进行了两天的录音。我们将有自发活动的典型一天与有指导的一天进行了比较，在有指导的一天中，护理人员被提示进行阅读和玩具游戏。与其他语言活动相比，分享书籍会导致更多的父母谈话、孩子谈话和互动。研究背景并没有影响结果：在自发活动和指导活动之间，语言使用没有差异。总的来说，即使是与婴儿分享，阅读也是父母和孩子语言使用的一个强有力的独特刺激因素。
