Evidence¶
Dialogic Reading 2010¶
Dialogic Reading. (2010). WWC Intervention Report, What Works Clearinghouse, U.S. Department of Education. https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/InterventionReport/136
q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1
WWC review covering seven outcome domains; Appendix A5 records two studies, six schools/centers, 52 students, and an extent-of-evidence rating of small for communication/language competencies, with zero studies in each of the other six domains.
"The WWC considers the extent of evidence for dialogic reading to be small for communication and language competen- cies for children with disabilities. No studies that meet WWC evidence standards with or without reservations examined the effectiveness of dialogic reading for children with disabilities in the domains of cognitive development, literacy, math competen- cies, social-emotional development and behavior, functional abilities, or physical well-being."
