Indeed, what parents do in and outside the home to support their child's learning has a powerful impact on their child's development, not only in terms of educational outcomes but also for wider ones, such as children's wellbeing. The impact of the home learning environment (HLE) on children's early learning and development is not restricted to just the first years of childhood but has a profound impact on their outcomes in later life. While there are many ways parents can engage in literacy activities at home, in 2004, The Effective Provision of Pre-School Education Project (EPPE) developed a list of seven behaviours that were found to have a positive impact on language development, not just in the early years but during primary school and beyond. These were: shared reading; singing songs and rhymes together; painting and drawing; taking children on visits (e.g., to the shop or the park); visiting the library; playing with letters and numbers; and creating regular opportunities for them to play with other children. The authors have been tracking parents' engagement with their children's literacy at home since 2019. Using the EPPE activities as a guide, the authors have asked parents how often they engage in those activities in a typical week. This report outlines findings from a parent survey commissioned in summer 2024.
