This article is provided courtesy of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Reading, English, and Communication Resources for Involving Parents in Literacy Development by Myrna M. Haussler and Yetta M. Goodman ERIC Clearinghouse on Reading, English, and Communication 1984. Digest #19. Parent Role The idea that parents play a vital role in their children's literacy development is not new. Edmond Huey, in 1908 wrote as follows: The child makes endless questionings about the names of things, as every mother knows. He is concerned also about the printed notices, signs, titles, visiting cards, etc., that come in his way, and should be told what they are when he makes inquiry. It is surprising how large a stock of printed or written words a child will gradually come to recognize in this way. In 1934, Nila B. Smith acknowledged that early reading is taught at home rather than at school. Current literacy research, reported by Teale (1981), Doake (1981), Haussler (1982), and Taylor (1983), indicates not only that the amount of adult-child reading and writing interaction before school is important, but also that the quality of the interactions makes a difference. Parents' attitudes toward literacy, the time they spend interacting with children and print, and the accessibility of literacy materials in the home (such as newspapers, books, chalkboards, paper and writing implements) influence children's reading and writing development.
