An Investigation of the Effects of Dialogic Reading Program Applied in Children’s Homes on Children’s Language Development

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of dialogic reading education given to care staff working in children's homes on the language development of children in need of protection and the views of care staff on dialogic reading. The study was designed using the explanatory sequential mixed method in which quantitative and qualitative research methods were used together. The study group consisted of 9 children aged 5-8 years living in children's homes and 6 care staff responsible for their care. Girls and boys live in separate homes, and the average age of the children is 6 years and 7 months. One of the participating care staff members is male, and the remaining five are female. The ages of the participating staff range between 35 and 40. First, dialogic reading training was given to a total of six care staff members working in two different care homes. The training was completed in two sessions. After the training, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test was administered to the children in the children’s homes as a pre-test. The care staff who completed the training were asked to read books to the children for four weeks using the dialogic reading technique. After the application, the same test was administered as a post-test. Following the quantitative data collection, qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with the care staff. As a result of the study, a significant difference was found between the pre-test and post-tests of the children who received dialogic reading. In addition, the participant staff stated that dialogic reading increased children's interest in book, developed various skills in children, and contributed to their professional development. This study recommends that care staff in children's homes receive training on dialogic reading and that this method be integrated into daily practice. Additionally, future studies with larger sample sizes and control groups should be conducted, and early interventions for language development in early childhood should be prioritized.
