The purpose of this research is to clarify what characteristics picture book reading activities in Kindergarten have regarding the development of children’s social personality. The research adopted is a discourse analysis methodology, through the social system theory of ‘Self Organization’.Main findings are as follows;(1) The reading of a picture book as a group activity in a kindergarten is experienced as a self-organized social act in which the following two reading actions are integrated;・Emergent and interactive reading activities through the presentation of illustrations and recitation of texts.・Reflective and autonomous reading behavior of children through the reading texts as participation in a social group activity.(2) Emergent and interactive reading activities are functionally in phase with interpersonal communication in real society.Reflective and autonomous reading practices are in phase with grasping, consciousness, and planning done autonomously in individual minds. Reading a picture book is an activity of spirally linking these two reading activities, and is an effective language activity for children to acquire the ability to cope with an unpredictable society.Conclusions are as follows;Even though a picture book reading activity is a one-time, interpersonal oral communication, picture books as an intermediary maintains consistency and universality. Children reflectively repeat experiences of autonomous reading of texts while following the rules of the reading activity and predicting or summarizing the structure and content of the story of the picture book. As a result, each reading experience is renewed and connected to the next reading of picture books.Through those activities, children will develop their social being, stimulate their meta-cognition, and will be more inclined to display meaningful self-expression.
