Use of questions, comments, and scaffolding in extratextual talk during shared book reading in classrooms where children exhibit above- and below-average language gains
Studies indicate shared book reading (SBR) may support preschool children’s language skills via extratextual talk. This exploratory descriptive study compared both the language-supportive strategies (questions, comments, scaffolding), and content of extratextual talk by early childhood (EC) teachers from 48 preschool classrooms (23 higher language gain [HLGCs] and 25 lower language gains [LLGCs]) during SBR. We transcribed and coded videos of SBR…
Generative Early Language Practices in Early Childhood Classrooms
Within early childhood (EC) education, a critical question lies in what classroom contexts and experiences are facilitative of children's language learning. Research suggests that not all classroom contexts are equal in supporting children's language learning and that some classroom practices may be more facilitative, or generative, than others. In this study, we use fall and spring observations of a sample of 100 U.S. EC classrooms to quantitati…

Depictions of teachers and teacher practices in picture books about starting kindergarten
Educators and families frequently use children’s picture books to introduce young children to unfamiliar experiences, including the start of school. In this study, we examine 52 U.S. picture books portraying the transition to kindergarten. Specifically, this content analysis explores the depiction of kindergarten teachers, including the demographic characteristics of these teachers, the extent to which these teacher characteristics mirror those o…
Patterns of Classroom Organization in Classrooms Where Children Exhibit Higher and Lower Language Gains
Previous research suggests that the ways in which early childhood classrooms are organized may facilitate children’s language learning. However, different measures of classroom organization often yield inconsistent findings regarding child outcomes. In this study, we investigated multiple aspects of classroom organization across two time points in classrooms where children made varying language gains. Using a purposeful sample of 60 early childho…
Take Their Word for It
This study was designed to compare the validity of the Inventory of Problems (IOP-29) and its newly developed memory module (IOP-M) in 150 patients clinically referred for neuropsychological assessment. Criterion groups were psychometrically derived based on established performance and symptom validity tests (PVTs and SVTs). The criterion-related validity of the IOP-29 was compared to that of the Negative Impression Management scale of the Person…
Parents’ physically performative behaviors during shared book reading
Characteristics of home-based child care providers who offer non-standard hour care
Fathers’ Shared Book Reading Experiences
A comprehensive critical review of the shared reading literature indicates that shared reading has the potential to yield positive developmental outcomes for children cognitively, socially, and emotionally. However, closer consideration of the literature further demonstrates that the extent and nature of parental sex differences is largely undocumented, though significant theoretical underpinnings suggest that mothers and fathers are likely to di…
Development of an intervention to improve parental recognition of childhood overweight
Parental restriction and children’s diets. The chocolate coin and Easter egg experiments
Primary grade writing instruction
A random sample of primary grade teachers (N 178; 97 % female) from across the United States was surveyed about their classroom instructional practices in writing. Most of the participating teachers (72%) took an eclectic approach to writing instruction, combining elements from the 2 most common methods for teaching writing: process writing and skills instruction. Although 90 % of the teachers reported using most of the writing instructional prac…
