Purpose This experiment investigated the effects of a book-sharing intervention implemented in coparenting homes on the conversations of preschoolers with their parents. Method A multiple baseline design across behaviors was used to evaluate the effects of embedding decontextualized language utterances during book-sharing delivered by four families. A visual analysis, a two-level mixed-effects model, and a social validity evaluation were used to examine the varying effects of the program on mothers and fathers' storybook conversations. Results Embedding decontextualized language prompts in books not only increased parental decontextualized language utterances, but most parents were able to maintain use of strategies without prompts in the books. The intervention effects were consistently higher for parents than for their children. Social validity results demonstrated parental satisfaction with program delivery and content. Conclusion This study adds to the limited literature on father-child and mother-child decontextualized conversations during book-sharing and illustrates a feasible and adaptable way of promoting language experiences in the home that yield engaging decontextualized conversations in meaningful book-reading contexts.

目的 本实验研究了在共同养育家庭中实施的图书分享干预对学龄前儿童与父母对话的影响。方法 采用跨行为的多基线设计，评估四个家庭在图书分享过程中嵌入脱离情境化语言话语的效果。使用视觉分析、二级混合效应模型和社会效度评估来检验该项目对母亲和父亲故事书对话的不同影响。结果 在图书中嵌入脱离情境化语言提示不仅增加了父母的脱离情境化语言话语，而且大多数父母能够在图书中没有提示的情况下继续使用这些策略。父母的干预效果始终高于孩子。社会效度结果表明父母对项目实施和内容感到满意。结论 本研究补充了关于图书分享过程中亲子间脱离情境化对话的有限文献，并说明了一种可行且可适应的方法，以促进家庭中的语言体验，在有意义的阅读情境中产生引人入胜的脱离情境化对话。补充材料 https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.13210799
