Parental Involvement in Emergent Literacy Skills of Urban Head Start Children.
Nespeca, Sue McCleaf
Early Child Development and Care, v111 p153-80 Jul 1995
Explored the impact of parental involvement and of public libraries on Head Start children's emerging literacy skills. Found differences in the amount of parental involvement in literacy activities and the types of activities. Library use was minimal for fear of damaging books, transportation problems, or lack of time or effort. Suggested improvements include home book delivery and parent workshops. (AA)
