De invloed van klassikaal voorlezen met e-Prent&amp;ABC+ op beginnende geletterdheid en taakgericht gedrag van kleuters.

e-Prent&ABC is a reading method designed to enhance children’s vocabulary, story comprehension, print knowledge and phonological awareness. During this reading method digital picture books are read interactively to children. It is based on the didactic model ‘de Viertakt’ and uses print referencing. In previous research e-Prent&ABC has proved to be an effective reading method, however not for all children (Dijken, 2019). Teachers suspected that children with problematic learning behavior benefited less from the reading method than children who did not exhibit this behavior. This is presumably due to a low degree of taskoriented behavior. For this reason, a new version of e-Prent&ABC is designed with added behavioral components aimed at increasing the task-oriented behavior of the children with problematic learning behavior (e-Prent&ABC+). The aim of the current study is to research whether the reading method e-Prent&ABC+, compared to e-Prent&ABC, leads to a larger vocabulary growth...Show moree-Prent&ABC is a reading method designed to enhance children’s vocabulary, story comprehension, print knowledge and phonological awareness.

The aim of the current study is to research whether the reading method e-Prent&ABC+, compared to e-Prent&ABC, leads to a larger vocabulary growth in children with problematic learning behavior compared to children who do not exhibit this behavior. Because the ability to display task-oriented behavior is partly dependent on the inhibitory control of children, inhibitory control was also included in the analysis. Participants were 60 children (mean age = 65.52 months). In three intervention weeks, picture books are read according to three conditions (Levende Boeken (control condition), e-Prent&ABC or e-Prent&ABC+). The results showed that the reading method ePrent&ABC caused the greatest growth in vocabulary, this confirms previous research which states that e-Prent&ABC is an effective reading method to enlarge the vocabulary of children. During this reading method task-oriented behavior determined the growth in vocabulary, whereas during reading with Levende Boeken and e-Prent&ABC+ this was determined by the inhibitory control of children. This indicates that the interactive reading used during ePrent&ABC is an efficient way of involving children in the lesson, potentially overcoming a low degree of inhibition, and teaching them new words.Show less
