Much attention has been devoted to parent-child interactions that involve the reading of printed materials; such interactions have been labeled joint book reading (JBR). JBR has been identified as the most imprtant activity in which parents can engage their children that will influence later academic success.

The article, "Joint Book Reading in the Second Year and Vocabulary Outcomes", in the Journal of Research in Childhood Education provides evidence supporting the positive impact of JBR. Call off the debate; now we know.
