Dialogic Reading PEER Sequence During Shared Story Reading in Speech Therapy

Hi friends!

Here's a quick breakdown/refresher on the PEER sequence using in dialogic reading! This strategy works to support language skills and increase engagement with the story during shared storybook reading!

P.E.E.R. Sequence

Adults can make reading more interactive by prompting the child, expanding on their response, praising their efforts, and repeating the prompt. This is know as the PEER sequence.

P.E.E.R

P – Prompts the child to say something about the text (read more about prompts here)

E – Evaluates the response

E – Expands on the child’s answer by rephrasing it or by adding information

R – Repeats the prompts to see if the child has learned from the expansion

Here are some examples:

Here are a few more examples that I shared over on my instagram!

I hope that helps!

Happy reading! 💛
