The Role of Family and Home in the Literacy Development of Children from Low-Income Backgrounds.
Storch, Stacey A.; Whitehurst, Grover J.
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n92 p53-71 Sum 2001
Tested a model of individual differences in the development of emergent literacy. Focused on home environment contributions to children's emerging literacy skills and on processes relating family environment and two domains of emergent literacy (outside-in and inside-out). Found that early connections between home, language, and emergent literacy have significant influence on later reading achievement. (DLH)
