Abstract A comprehensive critical review of the shared reading literature indicates that shared reading has the potential to yield positive developmental outcomes for children cognitively, socially, and emotionally. However, closer consideration of the literature further demonstrates that the extent and nature of parental sex differences is largely undocumented, though significant theoretical underpinnings suggest that mothers and fathers are likely to differ in quality of reading and linguistic exchanges with their sons and daughters. We review available literature on father’s shared reading to describe common father behaviors, frequency of fathers’ shared reading, factors predictive of fathers’ shared reading with children, and developmental outcomes for children. Implications for further research are elaborated.

父亲分享的读书经验：共同的行为，频率，预测因素和发展成果

摘要对共享阅读文献的全面批判性评价表明，共享阅读有潜力在认知，社交和情感上为儿童带来积极的发展成果。然而，对文献的更深入研究进一步表明，父母性别差异的程度和性质在很大程度上没有记载，尽管重要的理论基础表明，父母在与儿子和女儿的阅读和语言交流质量上可能存在差异。我们回顾了有关父亲共同阅读的文献，以描述父亲的共同行为，父亲共同阅读的频率，预测父亲与孩子共同阅读的因素以及儿童的发展成果。阐述了进一步研究的意义。
