Peer tutoring through a structured low-cost approach to reading in pairs using the Paired Reading programme has resulted in attainment gains in reading in English (UK) and Spanish (Colombia), using developer-led training in schools. Given the continued issues with poor reading attainment globally, in preparation for the scalability of Paired Reading in the Global South, a train-the-trainer delivery programme was developed, implemented, and assess…
Calidad de las interacciones en la lectura de cuentos en el hogar
The purpose of this study was to explore the quality of verbal interactions of 8 mother-child dyads from low-income homes. These interactions took place in the context of a shared reading training for parents and caregivers. From a micro-analytical approach, we examined 163 IRS sequences (onset-response-follow-up) that took place in 24 video-recorded sessions at the beginning, middle, and end of the shared reading training. Results show that clos…

Development of self-regulation of bilingual children and the role of teacher-child interactions
Bilingualism has been systematically associated with better self-regulatory skills (), however, this advantage does not seem to automatically transfer for most dual language learners. This suggests that there are other contextual factors that are necessary to trigger this advantage. This study examines the role of teacher–child interactions in the development of Spanish-speaking bilingual preschoolers’ self-regulation in an English-speaking conte…
