Lamme, Linda Olmsted, Pat Elementary Education Family Environment Family Influence Grade 1 Parent Child Relationship Parent Influence Parent Participation Reading Achievement Reading Habits Reading Interests Reading Research This study examined the influences of the home on children's attitudes toward reading, perceptions of reading, reading habits, and reading achievement. Participating in the study were 38 low-income white children (and their parents) from nine first-grade classrooms involved in the Florida Parent Education Follow Through project. Data were obtained from children and parents through interviews and direct-observation procedures, including the videotaping of parent and child reading a book together. Findings showed that the total scores of children's attitudes, perceptions, and reading habits were not significantly related to their reading-achievement scores; that children who were read to at home watched less television; that the availability of books from various sources was significantly related to reading-achievement scores; that parents of low-achieving children corrected their children in a negative way more often than did parents of high achievers; that children who had been read to made greater use of the public library; and that children who were read to more frequently also saw adults read more frequently at home and had more children's books at home.
