Shared storybook reading is a well-researched, interactive, adult-led approach typically used for improving early literacy performance. The utility of electronic shared storybook reading has not been well established in the literature (Takacs, Swart, & Bus, 2015). The current two-part study addresses some gaps in the research literature on electronic shared storybook reading and its effects on children’s engagement and early literacy skill development. Study 1 examined the differential effects of traditional printed shared storybook reading and electronic shared storybook reading on outcomes of preschool student engagement through the use of an alternating-treatments single-case design (Kennedy, 2005). Study 2 examined the effectiveness of electronic shared storybook reading on improving early literacy skills in preschool students through the use of a multiple-baseline single-case design (Kennedy, 2005). Data were analyzed through visual analysis and supplemental summary statistics. Results of Study 1 show differential effects of traditional versus electronic shared storybook reading on outcomes of engagement for two out of three participants. Results of Study 2 show a gradual improvement in early literacy skills across each participant. Limitations and implications for practice are addressed in the discussion.
