Michael Wesch, cultural anthropologist
We’ve talked for years about the digital divide and how, if you’re on the wrong side of that technology access gap, you get left behind. I think there’s the
potential for a kind of curiosity gap.”

A Child learns about HALF of everything
they learn in a lifetime by age FIVE

Why Words Count Middle Class Family
Low Income Family
• The typical middle class
child enters first grade
with 1,000 to 1,700
hours of one-to-one
picture book reading
• A child from a low
income family
averages just 25 hours
of one-to-one picture
book reading

Dialogic What? • In dialogic reading, the adult helps the child
become the “teller” of the story by asking open
ended questions.
• Goal is to start having children respond with more
than just one word at a time

PEER Sequence • Prompts the child to say something about the book
• Evaluates the child’s response
• Expands the child’s response by rephrasing and
adding information to it
• Repeats the prompt to make sure the child has
learned from the expansion

Nursery Rhymes For 4s and 5s!
