Περίληψη: This article focuses on dialogic reading, an interactive instructional method that actively engages children in discussing and reflecting on stories to enhance early literacy, language development, and cognitive skills. Dialogic reading involves adults guiding children through open-ended questions, vocabulary building, phonological awareness activities, and expressive modeling, fostering deeper comprehension and participation compared to traditional reading approaches. The article emphasizes practical strategies for implementing dialogic reading across curricula, differentiating instruction to meet diverse learner needs, and involving families to extend literacy support at home. It also addresses challenges such as resource limitations, teacher training, cultural inclusivity, and managing expectations, highlighting the importance of professional development and culturally relevant materials. Overall, dialogic reading is presented as a holistic approach that supports lifelong literacy success by creating engaging, inclusive, and meaningful reading experiences for young children.
