Popis: The aim of the study is to contribute to the knowledge of the characteristics of the explanatory speech produced during 39 storybook reading in 13 middle income argentinean homes when children were 30 and 42 months old. The explanatory discourse units produced during the exchanges about the story were analyzed according to the type of explanation, who initiated and produced them, and their level of distance from the immediate environment of the situation. Results showed the potential of storybook reading for the production of complex explanatory speech in comparison with play and meal situations. Differences were found according to children’s age and to familiarity with the story read. The pedagogical implications of the study are highlighted.
