The survey examined access to books in the home, classroom library, school library and public library, and bookstores. The results indicated statistically significant differences between high and low socioeconomic status (SES) for home, classroom, and school books, p < .001, with high SES possessing a greater number of books. However, no statistically significant differences between the groups were detected on public library books. The implications of these findings are discussed herein. |
