Teacher shared-reading instruction was examined through video taped observations at the beginning, middle, and end of the 18-week intervention period. As such, all preschool teachers were video taped at an agreed-upon time and date. As a courtesy, teachers were notified 3 days prior to an observation taking place, and observations were rescheduled if a teacher was not available or requested another time and date. Observations were conducted for the duration of the shared reading block.
