We have conducted two studies examining how parents combine reading from the text and extra-textual talk in book-sharing contexts and how socio-cultural factors influence these practices. The first study involved a sample of Guatemalan Mayan parents and their first-grade children. The second study involved a sample of mother-toddler dyads in New York City (U.S.), Chennai (India) and Muenster (Germany). Together, the studies indicate that the book-sharing styles parents adopt are related to children's verbal contributions and that parents' goals and expectations (which are particular to their communities) relate to the likelihood of adopting certain book-sharing styles.
