Abstract
Shared reading is an important context for supporting young children's language and emergent literacy development. Research has identified evidence-based strategies that parents and educators can use to make shared reading more interactive, language-rich, and supportive of children's learning. This brief reviews these strategies and how they can strengthen the early language skills that provide the foundation for learning to read.
