The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of toddlers' vocabulary ability with reading activities and teachers' verbal and nonverbal behaviors during book reading. The subjects were 52 teachers and 104 toddlers at age 2. Lee and Kim (2004)'s categories of the Teachers' Verbal Behaviors, the categories of the Nonverbal Behavioral Analysis(Kim. 2005), and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (Kim, et al.1995) were used. The data was analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, and Correlations. The results indicated that there were significant correlations in the subcategories of reading activities in classrooms, teachers' picture book reading behaviors, and toddler's vocabulary ability. The toddler's vocabulary ability increased as the 'interacting time both before and after book reading' became longer. The toddler's vocabulary ability increased as 'connecting with previous experience', 'asking questions for confirmation', 'acknowledging,' and 'expanding' of verbal behavior, as well as the nonverbal behavior, such as 'requesting behavior', 'emotional contact,' and 'empathetic behavior.' In conclusion, teachers' reading behaviors and activities were related to toddlers' vocabulary ability.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of early storybook reading intervention participation on the first graders' language abilities in low income families. The subjects consisted of 148 first graders and their primary caregivers. The intervention group was composed of 100 first graders who participated in the early storybook reading intervention program in childcare or kindergarten. The comparison group comprised 48 first graders from equivalent social and economic backgrounds, who did not participate in the program. The language abilities of the children were tested and questionnaires regarding the home literacy environment, children's reading activities at home and parents' perceptions of their children's reading behaviors were completed by the children's primary caregivers. The data were analyzed by means of structural equation modeling. The results indicated that early intervention participation was directly associated with children's higher language abilities in first grade and indirectly influenced the children's language abilities through the home literacy environment, children's reading activities at home and parents' perceptions of their children's reading behaviors.

이 연구는 교사와 어머니의 문해신념, 그림책에 대한 인식과 읽기활동 빈도에 차이가 있는지 알아보고, 이 변인들이 유아와의 그림책 읽기 상호작용에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 수행되었다. 경기, 인천의 유치원과 어린이집 교사 120명과 만 5세 유아의 어머니들 168명을 대상으로 실시한 조사의 결과는 다음과 같다. 교사가 어머니에 비해 총체적 언어신념에 더 가까운 문해신념을 보였다. 교사와 어머니 모두 그림책 읽어주기의 필요성을 강하게 인식하여 서로 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그림책 읽어주기의 즐거움과 이점은 교사가 어머니 보다 더 많다고 인식하였다. 그림책을 선정할 때, 어머니는 유아의 발달 수준, 개별적 상황, 일상생활의 반영을, 교사는 책의 판매량을 중시하였다. 교사가 어머니보다 유아와의 읽기활동을 더 많이 하나, 어머니가 교사에 비해 유아와 더 풍부한 책읽기 상호작용을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 교사와 어머니 모두 읽기활동 빈도와 그림책 읽어주기의 이점 인식이 유아와의 그림책 읽기 상호작용에 영향을 미쳤다.

The purpose of this study was to find out how follow-up activities of reading picture books influenced infants' language and socio-emotional development. Subjects of this study were 27 2-year-old infants at public day care centers in Busan. After implementing follow-up activities of reading picture books for 8 weeks, this study tried to investigate changes in infants' language and socio-emotional development. Results of this study are as follows. First, follow-up activities of reading pictures have brought positive impacts on infants' language ability. Results indicate a positive influence on infants' expressive and acceptive language ability. Second, follow up activities have also enhanced infants' socio-emotional development. Sepcifically, they have been effective in improving infants' low-level socio-emotional development such as 'internal control', 'peer interaction', and 'achievement motivation'. It is expected that the follow-up activities developed by this research would help to enhance infants' language development and socio-emotional development.
