Day Three:

• On Wednesday, you implement Day 3 of Dialogic Reading. Again, you can remind the children that they have read and discussed this book, and now you are going to talk about some more of the illustrations.
• During Day 3, you ask the same types of questions that you asked on Tuesday (Day 2).
• You might also incorporate some recall questions, (e.g., “Remember, we talked about this picture yesterday, what is this?”).
• You continue asking the children “Wh” questions (e.g., Who, What, Where), both individually and chorally, to ensure that the children are learning the vocabulary.
• If the children do not know the vocabulary in the book, it will make it more difficult for them to expand on it in the next steps.
• Give the children ample practice with labeling and finding out the function, color or shape of objects before moving on to the next day.

What questions could you ask about the function, color, or shape of the illustrations in your book? Roll over the book to see more information.

The next video clip will show an overview of Day 2 and Day 3 of the Dialogic Reading lesson.

In summary, on Day 1 of Dialogic Reading, you introduce the book and read the book aloud to the children. On Day 2, you point to realistic and identifiable objects illustrated throughout the book and ask “What” or “Who” questions to prompt the children to label the pictures. On Day 3, you continue to point to realistic and identifiable objects illustrated throughout the book and ask “What” or “Who” questions to prompt the children to label the pictures. You also refer back to pictures discussed on Day 2 and review those target words. Once children are familiar with the important vocabulary throughout the book, the group is ready to begin Day 4 of Dialogic Reading.
