The Linguistic Environment of Early Readers.
Davidson, Rosalind G.; Snow, Catherine E.
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v10 n1 p5-21 Fall-Win 1995
Compared social-linguistic experiences of six early readers (ERs) and six prereading (PRs) matched-age peers in interactions with their middle-class parents. Found that ER parents created an even more enriched language environment for their children than PR parents. Differences on decontextualized language tasks favored ER families, and ERs gave more comprehensible procedural descriptions than PRs. (DR)
