Home Literacy Experiences | Education.com: "This article focuses on young children’s home environments in an attempt to discover factors that promote emergent literacy development.
Early studies in this area focused on umbrella characteristics such as family income and parents’ levels of education (Sulzby & Teale, 1991). Results revealed positive relationships between these variables and reading achievement in the early grades. For example, children from middle-income families tend to be better readers than those from low-income families. Unfortunately, such findings do little to explain how these variables directly affect children’s literacy growth.
Later studies have narrowed their focus and attempted to describe the actual literacy-related experiences that children have at home. These home literacy studies have identified several factors that appear to have important roles in emergent literacy acquisition. These factors are described below."
