We have added a series of new resources to our website on supporting families with shared reading in the home. This bundle contains a range of helpful materials, including guides for practitioners, activities for parents, evidence briefings about the latest research, all linked to shared reading in the home and the ways it can support language development.
The resources were produced by researchers at the Universities of Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield and Leeds as part of a continuing professional development seminar that was hosted by the University of Sheffield. The seminar was held as part of an ESRC funded project How to promote children's language development using family-based shared book reading with young children, which ran from 2015 to 2018.
