Effectiveness of Intensive Versus Extensive Reading of Children`s Stories
Son Hye Sug
Abstract
The question addressed by the present research was whether repeated, careful reading of a few stories(Intensive Reading) is more effective than general, one-time reading of many stories(Extensive Reading). Unfamiliar stories were read to 105 kindergarten children from typewritten sheets of paper for 40 days(about 10 weeks). The Intensive Reading group heard 5 stories and the Extensive Reading group heard 40 stories. Effectiveness was measured by interest level during story telling and by narrative structure. Test scores were analysed by ANCOVA. No differences were found between the 2 groups; however, as a new area of study it could serve as a catalyst for research on story telling methods.
