“…They will learn that words carry practical meaning in that they should read from left to right, and from up to down; that there are spaces between letters and words for people to read and comprehend; and that books should be open and their pages turned properly. Chang et al [8] have demonstrated through their research that the knowledge of books and print organization, the understanding of print as a communication device, and the ability to make sense of words are all vital skills for young learners to become fluent readers. Print knowledge plays an essential part in children's reading and correlates with various aspects of emergent literacy skills.…”

With increasing globalization, global English and its association with literacy worldwide have gained widespread attention. Following the law of language learning, more and more countries are making efforts to help their citizens become literate in English from their early years. Picture books have played a crucial part in developing children’s emergent literacy skills. They provide children with fascinating illustrations, advancement in vocabularies, and meaningful sentence structures that go beyond the present contexts. However, picture book reading can be difficult for young English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners due to the lack of English-speaking environment and language accumulation. With regard to this situation, this article analyzes and discusses the common debates on the print concept, phonological awareness, and vocabularies within an EFL early picture book reading setting to shed light on the practical direction in this field. Following this, this article coins relevant supporting strategies to ensure effective English picture book reading among children by developing supplementary activities, encouraging parent-child interaction, and applying multimedia materials. This article ends with a brief conclusion and questions that may need further exploration and research.

“…Mothers' use of complex expansions and open-ended questions also promotes children's concurrent and subsequent language and literacy development (Silven et al, 2003). In addition, research on the use of non-verbal and verbal print referencing strategies during shared book reading, such as pointing or talk about book and print knowledge, suggests positive relationships between exposure to print referencing and children's language, print concepts, letter-word identification, word recognition, and passage comprehension skills (Chang, Luo, & Wu, 2016;Chen & Chang, 2011, 2013Justice & Ezell, 2000;Justice & Piasta, 2011;Lovelace & Stewart, 2007;Piasta et al, 2010). All of these studies have pinpointed some specific parent-child interaction strategies that have potential influences on the language and early literacy development of young children.…”

This longitudinal study examines change in maternal interaction strategies in Taiwanese mothers across time, and the synchronic and diachronic relationships between maternal interaction strategies and children's language and early literacy skills. Forty-two mother–child dyads participated in this study. Their interactions during joint book-reading were tape-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed when the children were fourteen, twenty-six, and thirty-six months of age. The children received a battery of language and early literacy tests when they were thirty-six months old. Findings showed that Taiwanese mothers adjusted their use of interaction strategies as their children grew. Maternal use of description, performance, prediction inference, and print-related talk were positively correlated with their children's language and literacy skills. Significant negative correlations were found between use of task-behavioral regulation strategy and text reading in mothers and their children's language performance. This study suggests that age-appropriate interaction strategies are important for children's language and early literacy development.

“…In a study conducted in Taiwan, the results indicated that Taiwanese/Chinese parents placed an emphasis on print in their interaction with their children, and suggested the explicit use of print referencing interaction strategies during shared reading as being helpful in the development of print concepts skills in children [13].…”

Bilingual ethnic Chinese parents are concerned about their preschoolers' learning of their mother tongue. Many allow their children to learn Mandarin by accessing language applications on mobile devices. However the effectiveness of solely using mobile devices as a learning tool for preschoolers is debatable. This paper presents a field investigation on how adult-facilitated craft-making, generates greater interest the reading of Mandarin eBooks and retention of the stories. The data suggests pairing of activities may be useful to children from across language abilities. This also highlights a need for designers and educators to formulate a holistic design approach in the development of preschool mobile learning content.
