In this pilot study, we ask whether repeated storybook reading is also beneficial for word learning in children diagnosed with SLI. We compared 3-year-old German children diagnosed with SLI to typically-developing children matched on age and SES. One week later, children with SLI retained the target words from the stories just as well as their peers, although they did perform significantly worse on immediate recall.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
