Quality of the Literacy Environment in Day Care and Children's Development.
Dunn, Loraine; And Others
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v9 n1 p24-34 Fall-Win 1994
Explored the environment for literacy in day-care centers, its relationship with traditional measures of day-care quality, and its influence on children's cognitive and language development. Observations in 30 community-based day-care classrooms revealed relatively impoverished literacy environments. Found that both day-care quality and environment can significantly affect children's language development. (AA)
