Abstract
This article reports the results of the first phase of a research project that reviews studies made regarding parent-child joint book reading – with children between 3 to 6 years old. Joint book reading is defined as the interaction between an adult and a child, where the adult reads to the child, the child interprets the language read by the adult, and it is an activity typical of first alphabetical learning scenarios. The methodology used was the analysis of the content of old sources (from 1970 to 2002) as well as articles and research reports from 2002 to 2012. These articles examined this topic from two main points: the study of joint book reading itself and the general study of the interaction between adults and children. The results of this analysis classify these studies in three areas: factors that affect the interaction between an adult and a child; typologies of possible communicative and linguistic exchanges between adults and children; and dynamics of the adult-child interaction and its intentional use within intervention programs. We concluded that the adult-child interaction present in joint book reading is strongly interfered by the level of development of complex linguistic wording of the child and by the capacity the adult has to answer the child’s questions in order to reinforce his knowledge
