| contents | Evaluating the Impact of Book Gifting on the Reading Behaviours of Parents and Young Children Tura, Ferhat Wood, Clare Thompson, Rebecca Lushey, Clare Books Economically Disadvantaged Reading Habits Parent Child Relationship Interaction Reading Aloud to Others Family Environment Literacy Foreign Countries Incidence We report an evaluation of a book gifting scheme (the Dolly Parton Imagination Library; DPIL) that targeted families from disadvantaged areas. We considered the impact that length of participation had on children's interest in literacy-related activities, the frequency of parent-child reading interactions, duration of reading, and whether the parents read with their child daily (N = 286). We also compared these families to a group of non-participating families from the same city (N = 197). We found that families registered with DPIL for a year or more reported higher frequencies of parent-child interactions when reading than the non-DPIL group, and were more likely to read with their children on a daily basis than those registered with DPIL for less than a year. We suggest that book gifting schemes need to be long-term to positively influence home literacy environments. |
