Singh, Sunita Library Services Books Family Programs Reading Programs Emergent Literacy Surveys Enrollment Reading Aloud to Others Parent Child Relationship Discussion Statistical Analysis Regression (Statistics) Program Effectiveness Participant Characteristics Research has established a connection between print exposure and reading skills. The authors examined the impact of book access on print exposure via a monthly book distribution program. At 10 months of implementation, 170 families enrolled in the Imagination Library Program in Syracuse, New York responded to a survey. Results indicated that length of enrollment was associated with frequency of child-directed reading and story discussion, even when controlling for child age, gender, income, parental education, race, parental nation of birth, and primary language spoken at home. Consequently, the authors conceptualize such programs as catalysts for developing early literacy skills by increasing child-directed reading. |
