Beyond Shared Book Reading: Dimensions of Home Literacy and Low-Income African American Preschoolers' Skills.
Britto, Pia Rebello; Brooks-Gunn, Jeanne
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n92 p73-89 Sum 2001
Examined associations between individual dimensions of the home literacy environment and specific emergent literacy skills among low-income preschoolers. Found that three dimensions of family literacy environments--language and verbal interactions, learning climate, and social and emotional climate--differentially foster preschool children's emerging literacy.
