Home Literacy Supports and Children's Reading Trajectories Presented: San Diego, CA, American Educational Research Association Meeting, April 2004 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: American Educational Research Association Keyword(s): Armed Forces Qualifications Test (AFQT); Children, Academic Development; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Literacy; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Parenting Skills/Styles; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper reports on an analysis of reading data from the Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (C-NLSY). The hypothesis is tested that mother-child interactions during the preschool and school years, the frequency with which the mother reads to the child during the preschool years, and the frequency of family meals and enrichment opportunities during the school years predict children's reading trajectories. Maternal reading frequency and mother-child interactions are found to be associated with enhanced reading ability throughout the school years, controlling for maternal schooling, maternal literacy, and income, and the taxonomy of models suggests that these variables may explain some of the effects of maternal schooling and income on children's reading development. |
