One study of this link (39) examined six year-old children who were viewing a special series of 15 minute programs at school The series was designed to encourage love of books, as well as to develop the ( 40) basic mechanical skills of reading Each program is a(n) ( 41) animated film of a children’s book The story is read aloud while certain key phrases from the book appear on the ( 42) screen , beneath the picture Whenever a word is read, it is also ( 43) highlighted on the TV screen
One finding was that watching these programs was very important to the children If anything
prevented them from seeing a program, they were very ( 44) disappointed What’s more, they wanted to read the books which the different parts of the series were (45) based on
The program also gave the children more confidence when looking at these books AS a result of their (46) familiarity with the stories, they would sit in pairs and read the stories aloud to each other On one occasion, the children showed great (47) sympathy when discussing a character in a book because they themselves had been moved when watching the character on television
