Whitehurst, Ph.D. This technique encourages adults to prompt children with questions and engage them in discussions while reading to them.  By expanding on the child's responses, encouraging children to retell stories, and by reiterating the names, objects and events in the book, dialogic reading helps young children build and reinforce the basic language and literacy skills that will make them successful readers.
