Abstract
Interactive e-books could provide a smart learning environment by providing adults with facilitation support for encouraging children to speak. To reap benefits for the adult reader and subsequently the children’s language de- velopment, such support must be seamless to use for the reader and not impair the main experience of joint reading. This paper investigated, by means of video interaction analysis, how facilitation support can improve dialogic reading of day- care caregivers. Facilitation support consisted of providing good words and dia- logic reading prompts on the top part of the screen outside the visual and textual story line of an interactive e-book. Ten caregivers with groups of two to three children between the ages of 22 and 48 months participated in the study. Care- givers in the facilitation support group used quality prompts more often than the control group. More prompting from caregivers correlated with more utterances from the children.
