intervention TOPEL Definitional Vocabulary sc<strong>or</strong>es were included as the dependent<br />

variable.<br />

Results revealed that teachers‘ mean sc<strong>or</strong>es f<strong>or</strong> the book reading log, children‘s<br />

frequency <strong>of</strong> participation in st<strong>or</strong>ybook readings, and mean length <strong>of</strong> audiotaped<br />

st<strong>or</strong>ybook readings together predicted post-intervention TOPEL Definitional Vocabulary<br />

sc<strong>or</strong>es over the effects <strong>of</strong> pre-intervention TOPEL Definitional Vocabulary sc<strong>or</strong>es and the<br />

effect code f<strong>or</strong> experimental group assignment (∆R 2 step two = .07, p < .005; see Table 23).<br />

Teachers‘ mean sc<strong>or</strong>es f<strong>or</strong> the book reading log item positively predicted post-<br />

intervention TOPEL Definitional Vocabulary sc<strong>or</strong>es after partialing the effects <strong>of</strong> pre-<br />

intervention TOPEL Definitional Vocabulary sc<strong>or</strong>es and the effect code f<strong>or</strong> experimental<br />

group assignment (t = 2.22, p < .05), indicating that children‘s post-intervention TOPEL<br />

Definitional Vocabulary sc<strong>or</strong>es increased as teachers‘ skills in discussing emotional<br />

st<strong>or</strong>ybook content increased, even given the effects <strong>of</strong> pre-intervention TOPEL<br />

Definitional Vocabulary sc<strong>or</strong>es and the effect code f<strong>or</strong> experimental group assignment.<br />

The mean length <strong>of</strong> audiotaped st<strong>or</strong>ybook readings approached statistical significance in<br />

predicting post-intervention TOPEL Definitional Vocabulary sc<strong>or</strong>es after partialing the<br />

effects <strong>of</strong> pre-intervention TOPEL Definitional Vocabulary sc<strong>or</strong>es and the effect code f<strong>or</strong><br />

experimental group assignment (t = 1.97, p < .10), indicating that children‘s post-<br />

intervention TOPEL Definitional Vocabulary sc<strong>or</strong>es increased as the mean length <strong>of</strong><br />

audiotaped st<strong>or</strong>ybook readings increased, even given the effects <strong>of</strong> pre-intervention<br />

TOPEL Definitional Vocabulary sc<strong>or</strong>es and the effect code f<strong>or</strong> experimental group<br />

assignment.<br />
