Abstract Interventions that train parents to share picture books with children are seen as a strategy for supporting child language development. We conducted meta‐analyses using robust variance estimation modeling on results from 19 RCT s (N total = 2,594; M childage = 1–6 years). Overall, book‐sharing interventions had a small sized effect on both expressive language (d = 0.41) and receptive language (d = 0.26). They had a large effect on caregiver book‐sharing competence (d = 1.01). The impact of the intervention on child language was moderated by intervention dosage, with lower dosage associated with a minimal impact. Child age and caregiver education level were unrelated to child outcome. This review and meta‐analysis confirms the promise of book‐sharing interventions for enhancing and accelerating child language development.

Summary:



Interventions that train parents to share picture books with children are seen as a strategy for supporting child language development. Overall, booksharing interventions had a small sized effect on both expressive language and receptive language. lmic and parental education postschool ter- tiary vs. the current review also investigated the extent to which these interventions lead to an improve- ment in caregivers book-sharing competence. this specic age group was chosen in line with the ndings of previous research that sug- gested that book-sharing particularly in the rst years of life was related to language develop- ment emergent literacy and reading achievement bus et al. this held across all three outcomes: expressive language t =.
