Let's read together : improving literacy outcomes with the adult-child interactive reading inventory (ACIRI)

Summary: Based on reading research and extensively field tested, this manual offers a method of evaluating the behaviours that promote quality adult-child interactive reading. In an easy to use assessment that can be administered in 15-20 minutes, users can observe and score 12 key behaviours. In addition, a large selection of parent/caregiver tips and activities to reinforce interactive reading is included. This book would be useful for family literacy practitioners looking for a tool for assessment, teaching, and program design and evaluation. It can also be useful in other read aloud situations, e.g. schools and libraries.
