The research behind personalized reading

Their story. A reason to join in.

Studies suggest that personalized books can help children get more involved when you read together.

New words to discover. Personalized story sections supported better word learning in a small preschool study.
A little more to say. Children spoke more often during personalized shared reading in a study of 35 preschoolers.
More smiles together. A home-reading study found more smiles and laughter from toddlers and their parents with personalized books.

Explore the three studies

A small study of 18 preschoolers found better word knowledge for personalized story sections at two of three assessments.
Word learning · First Language, 2014
In a study of 35 preschoolers, personalized sections prompted a higher rate of spontaneous speech, including more references to themselves.
Children’s speech · Journal of Pragmatics, 2014
Seven parent–toddler pairs shared books at home. Both parents and children smiled and laughed more with personalized books than with comparable non-personalized books.
