For shared book reading to be effective for language development, the adult and child need to be highly engaged. The current paper adopted a mixed-methods approach to investigate caregiver's language-boosting behaviours and children's engagement during shared book reading. The results revealed there were more instances of joint attention and caregiver's use of prompts during moments of higher engagement. However, instances of most language-boosting behaviours were similar across episodes of higher and lower engagement. Qualitative analysis assessing the link between children's engagement and caregiver's use of speech acts, revealed that speech acts do seem to contribute to high engagement, in combination with other aspects of the interaction.
为了使共享阅读对语言发展有效，成人和儿童都需要高度参与。本研究采用混合方法研究了照顾者在共享阅读过程中的语言促进行为和儿童的参与度。结果表明，在参与度较高的时刻，共同注意力和照顾者使用提示的情况更多。然而，在参与度较高和较低的阅读片段中，大多数语言促进行为的情况相似。对儿童参与度和照顾者使用言语行为之间联系的定性分析表明，言语行为似乎确实与互动的其他方面一起有助于高度参与。
