How does dialogic reading differ from passive reading?

Explanation:

Dialogic reading refers to the process in which a dialogue is had with students in relation to the text currently being read. During the course of this dialogue, questions are asked in order to help the students explore the text at a deeper level, which includes:

- defining new words,

- analyzing each component of a story, and

- the ability to talk extensively about the text.

Passive reading on the other hand refers to reading something, but without engaging fully with the text currently being read. In this case, the reader performs no form of critical thinking about the book being read. The goal of passive reading is basically to get finished with the text.
