Sheer frequency of shared reading has also been shown to be a powerful predictor of children’s vocabulary growth. Thus, in their study of the effects of questioning style on novel vocabulary acquisition of preschoolers, Walsh and Blewitt (2006) found that children’s active engagement, regardless of the whether questions were vocabulary eliciting or noneliciting, was the key to unlocking the full potential of shared reading on vocabulary growth.Vocabulary-eliciting questions, a task that required children to recall and use novel vocabulary, did not confer an advantage over noneliciting questions on novel word learning. In other words, the questioning cognitive demand level did not appear to matter in terms of children’s word learning
