In: Child Development Research, Band 2016, S. 1-10
Abstract
The current study investigated the influence of the community-based family literacy program on parent's and children's engagement in family reading practices and language/literacy activities at home. Parent's and children's engagement in family reading practices and language/literacy activities based on different family characteristics and the lengths of program attended were compared. Six-week and four-week Family Storyteller Program for Preschoolers series were taught between 2013 and 2015. Three hundred seventy-five parents completed both presurveys and postsurveys. Parents showed promising results in enhancing parents' and child's engagement in family reading practices and language/literacy activities at home after participating in the intervention. It was also found that durations of the program and family characteristics were correlated to different outcomes.
