Parental Print Exposure and Young Children's Language and Literacy Skills.
Symons, Sonya; And Others
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v42 n1 p49-58 Mar 1996

Results suggest that SES had minimal impact on children's literacy and that parental print exposure strongly influenced children's vocabulary and literacy skills. (LP)
