As an action researcher I enquire into my experiences as an early childhood services coordinator, as a learner of the New Brunswick Early Learning and Child Care Curriculum Framework-English and as a graduate student to draw on the power of action research, literature, conversations and my own self-study to reframe experience allowing me to reconsider and reshape my thinking and actions in ELLC centres. Combining research on dialogic reading and expressive engagement, I cooperated in read alouds with four early childhood educators and one room of fouryear-old children within an Early Learning and Child Care centre. Through video documentation, observations, journals, and educators’ focus groups, I engaged in research with early childhood educators building on the collaborative relationship and engagement that occurs during a read aloud between a child, a book, and an educator.text/xmlviii, 169 pageselectronicen-CAhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2master thesis2023-03-01Rose, SherryEducation
