Factors Influencing Caregiver Perceptions of Shared Picture Book Reading Enjoyment with Their Young Children
Laura Mills-Smith
Reading Psychology, v45 n5 p519-543 2024
The benefits afforded to young children through shared reading are well-documented, but few studies have focused on what contributes to enjoyment of shared reading, especially as it pertains to caregivers' enjoyment. This study explored child and caregiver enjoyment of shared reading through an online survey. Caregivers named books their 0- to 3-year-old child had recently enjoyed reading with them and gave information about their experience, including a rating of how much they and their child enjoyed each book. Variables about the children, caregivers, and the reading experience were analyzed to better understand what promotes enjoyment of shared reading. Child and caregiver enjoyment, while related, were not equal and were not influenced by the same factors. Children's enjoyment is related to their own characteristics and their caregiver's enjoyment, whereas caregiver enjoyment is related to their scaffolding of the reading to best suit their child's abilities and the characteristics of the reading environment.
