This comprehensive module focuses on Dialogic Reading, an evidence-based instructional practice that builds oral language development, especially for children who live in poverty or lack age-appropriate language skills, by implementing a systematic approach to shared storybook reading. The module is organized by a 5-Step Learning Cycle that begins with a dilemma of practice and cycles through questions, evidence of effective practice, instructional decision making and evaluation. It includes video clips, activities, handouts, and audio to assist teachers as they learn about Dialogic Reading and implement this evidence-based practice in their classrooms. The module can be accessed here.
