Abstract

Introduction: Dialogic reading is one of the most used and studied techniques within the frame of shared book reading activities between children and adults. The current review aims to analyze its effects in late talkers and children with developmental language disorder, that is, not associated to other condition.

Methods: A systematic review of the literature was carried out following PRISMA Statement guidelines.

Results: The investigations reviewed show advances in children's lexical, grammatical and pragmatic indicators of language functioning. Likewise, changes are observed in the language of adults who apply the intervention, both in the use of dialogic reading strategies and in the grammatical and suprasegmental features of the language addressed to children.

Discussion: The evidence about the effectivity of dialogic reading in late talkers and children with developmental language disorders is promising but has important limitations that are mainly related to the design, social validity and reliability of interventions. Other remarkable issues relate to the books or materials employed and the measures used to assess its effectiveness.

Introducción: La lectura dialógica es una de las técnicas más empleadas y estudiadas en el marco de las actividades de lectura compartida de libros entre niños y adultos. La presente revisión sistemática tiene como objetivo principal analizar sus efectos en el lenguaje de niños hablantes tardíos o con trastorno del desarrollo del lenguaje, no asociados a otra condición. Métodos: Se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de la literatura siguiendo las orientaciones del PRISMA Statement, mediante la consulta con diferentes bases de datos. Resultados: Las investigaciones revisadas muestran progresos en el lenguaje de los niños en indicadores léxicos, gramaticales y pragmáticos. También se observan cambios en el lenguaje de los adultos que aplican la intervención, tanto en el uso de las estrategias propias de la técnica como en las características gramaticales y suprasegmentales de su lenguaje. Discusión: La evidencia sobre la efectividad de la lectura dialógica en niños con trastornos del desarrollo lenguaje es prometedora pero presenta limitaciones importantes relativas, fundamentalmente, al diseño, la validez social y la fiabilidad de las intervenciones. Otras cuestiones destacables hacen referencia a los libros o materiales con los que se interactúa y a las medidas empleadas para valorar su efectividad.

Keywords: developmental language disorder; dialogic reading; intervention; late talkers.
