YES!!! One of the WHYs for sharing "reading alouds" with high quality storybooks all the time focusing on new and complex vocabulary and concepts included in the books. YaY for research that documents a WHY for our promising practices!

Of course there are many more reasons to share read alouds throughout each and every day!

The effect of preschool vocabulary and grammar on early reading comprehension and word reading: A systematic review and meta-analysis

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 72 longitudinal studies (n = 23,387) found that preschool vocabulary and grammar each have significant, moderate effects on early reading comprehension, word reading, and pseudo-word reading. These associations were consistent across assessment types and time intervals.

The impact of preschool vocabulary on word reading was stronger in contexts with earlier school starting ages, underscoring the importance of supporting oral language development prior to formal reading instruction.
