We’re excited to share that Drs. Jenna Schwartz and Qinxin Shi have published a new paper in the journal Reading Psychology entitled “The Association Between Home Learning Environment, Parental Belief, and Children’s Reading Abilities.”
This study shows that parents’ reading behavior strongly predicts their children’s reading proficiency—more than parents’ education level. When children see their parents reading, it positively influences their own reading development through the home learning environment and parental modeling.
Congratulations to Drs. Schwartz and Shi on this excellent contribution to our understanding of early literacy development!
