Depth of Concept-Rich Expressive Vocabulary in Latino Spanish-English Dual Language Learners : A Multiple Baseline Study of a Culturally Responsive Structured Dialogic Read-Aloud Intervention

Latino Spanish-English Dual Language Learners (DLLs) often possess conceptual knowledge that may not be fully reflected through traditional vocabulary measures. Although research supports dialogic reading and culturally responsive vocabulary instruction, few studies have examined expressive vocabulary depth (EVD) within school-based speech-language therapy settings for Latino Spanish- English DLLs. This study examined the effect of a culturally responsive structured dialogic read-aloud intervention on EVD in Latino Spanish-English DLLs.
