“…Research has found that teachers must draw children's attention to print because, even when presented in interesting illustrations, children do not look at the text without adult mediation (Evans & Saint-Aubin, 2005). Further work has shown that children's ability to read and use environmental print increases, when adults facilitate children's exposure to such print (Neuman & Roskos, 1993;Vukelich, 1994). In addition, in a series of studies, Justice and colleagues have demonstrated the benefits of print referencing (i.e., drawing attention to letters, words, and other print) during storybook reading on children's literacy skill development (Justice, Kaderavek, Fan, Softa, & Hunt, 2009;McGinty, Breit-Smith, Fan, Justice, & Kaderavek, 2011).…”
