The present study was undertaken to study the perception of parents and teachers towards interactive book reading and effectiveness in facilitating oral language and print awareness amongst senior kindergarten preschoolers. 30 senior kindergarten preschool teachers and 30 parents of preschoolers participated in the study. A self-constructed questionnaire and rating scale were employed with high reliability and construct validity to gather information about the perceptions of senior kindergarten preschool teachers and parents toward interactive book reading. Results show that there is significant difference in the perception of parents and teachers towards language skills acquired during interactive book reading. More parents believe that greater language skills get developed during interactive book reading as compared to teachers. There is no significant difference in the perception of parents and teachers towards effectiveness of interactive book reading. Both parents and teachers equally believe that interactive book reading is effective in early years.
