Research on what reading engagement is and how it is achieved often takes the approach of identifying factors that motivate reading, as perceived from outside the reading experience itself. In this study, we examine reading engagement as it occurs with an emergent reader reading a wordless picture-book.
Using a dialogic, relational perspective on reading engagement, grounded in trans-actional theory specific to fictional narrative, we illustrate the ways such a perspective can explain the deeply human experience of engaged fiction reading. Results suggest that inter-subjective connections and Theory of Mind (ToM) are integral to a reader's construction of relationships within the fictional world and definitional to engaged reading. In addition, this study builds on the methodological promise of wordless book reading in reading research.
