Videos on Reading to Young Children

Why do we read to our children?

Do we really read to our children to teach them to read? Do we read to them to pass the time? Join Dr. Dutilly on a surprising journey into the heart of research around why we read to our children.

Dialogic Reading Strategy

 In this episode, Dr. Dutilly takes you on a deep dive into Dialogic Reading. This is a shared book reading strategy that actively engages your child. The goal is to develop enhanced pre-literacy skills and help your child become more verbal as he or she grows.
