Hi Everyone! We hope you enjoyed the previous episodes of our podcast. Today we present a new episode in which Dr Gemma Taylor talks to Dr Jamie Lingwood, a Developmental Psychologist specialising in child’s language development and an alumni member of the Leeds Child Development Unit.
Jamie was telling us about his research in which he explored how shared book reading fosters language development. Are you interested in finding out what are the benefits of shared book reading for child’s language development? Should caregivers label objects/characters in the book when reading to young children or should they rather carry on with the story? Is it ok to read the same book to children over and over again if they ask for it? Listen to the podcast and find out!
Here are some resources that Jamie mentioned during the conversation:
