Abstract
Prior research demonstrated that teachers' language practice in shared book reading (SBR) plays an important role in preschoolers' early language and literacy development (Gerde & Powell, 2009). Many of the existing studies adopted general measures to gauge entire SBR sessions and could not sufficiently capture distinctions between teachers in a nuanced manner, and therefore were unable to highlight the effective teaching components in a detailed and comprehensive way. The current study focused on the types of effective teaching components in SBR and looked into the micro-structure of teachers' language practice during SBR.
