After listening to the story, children were administered multiple-choice tasks to determine their understanding. The children also completed standardized measures of alphabet knowledge, word reading skill, and phonological awareness.

This data was collected from April to June 2023, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. "Orthographic and Semantic Learning During Shared Reading Data.csv" is a record of the results and supports the manuscript “Orthographic and Semantic Learning During Shared Reading: Investigating Relations to Word Reading.” The file contains 15 variables regarding participants’ age, gender, and first language, and their scores on the orthographic and semantic learning tasks, and on the standardized measures of alphabet knowledge, word reading, and phonological awareness.
