Senechal, Monique; LeFevre, Jo-Anne
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n92 p39-52 Sum 2001
A 5-year longitudinal study examined the relations among home literacy experience, language, and literacy development in a middle-class sample. Findings indicate that those with highest exposure to reading aloud at home demonstrated advantages in spelling, decoding, and alphabet knowledge through grade 3. Recommendations urge frequent home exposure to storybook experiences, and capitalizing on performance advantages of children so exposed. (DLH)
