efficacy of the use of a dialogic reading intervention with emotion-laden storybooks in
enhancing preschoolers‘ social and emotional skills. Given differences in programming
dosage for children who attend full- versus half-day classrooms, the fourth research goal
included investigating differences in intervention effects between full- and half-day
classrooms. In achieving these goals, five research questions were addressed:
1. Did teachers implement intervention methods to fidelity?
a. Did teachers comply with intervention methods?
b. What were teachers‘ attitudes toward intervention implementation?
2. Did a dialogic reading intervention with emotion-laden storybooks have positive
effects on children‘s vocabulary skills?
3. Will a dialogic reading intervention using emotion-laden storybooks have
positive effects on children‘s emotion knowledge?
4. Will a dialogic reading intervention with emotion-laden storybooks have positive
effects on children‘s social skills?
Will a dialogic reading intervention with emotion-laden storybooks have more positive
effects on the vocabulary skills, emotion knowledge, and social skills of children in full-
day versus half-day classrooms?
