Summary/Abstract: The article presents an attempt to develop methods of research showing the impact of multi-dimensional reading on the child’s language. According to the author, a multi-faceted study to measure the impact of reading on child’s language ability and disseminate the results of such studies should be implemented in order to promote reading effectively. It should be pointed out that a modern man in fact pays attention on precise figures as well as quantitative and qualitative methods. The author examined the length of child’s utterance (a number of words), an exact number and the average number of words included in the utterance, frequency and an increase of vocabulary, fluency (a number and types of pauses), repetition of words and phrases, a number of words and unfinished words and a number of elements in texts for children.
