Description
Deborah Bergman Deitcher and three colleagues published a child development study in two thousand twenty-four on home literacy in the last preschool year. What parents believe about reading shapes what they do at home. The team asked how stable those beliefs are and whether they track children's progress.
Fifty families were visited in autumn and spring. Parents reported beliefs and reading activities each time, and children were tested on letters, sounds, writing, and sound awareness. Beliefs stayed fairly steady while home activities increased. Children gained skills and motivation across the year. Autumn beliefs and activities predicted spring skills. Growth in parents' beliefs also matched growth in children's skills, beyond parent education and child age.
