Attitudes to reading: A parental involvement project

Reading Research in Great Britain in 1987

“…In one small scale study, Boland and Simmons (1987) evaluated the involvement of parents on the attitudes of 12 children aged from 7 to 9 years. They claim that the project demonstrated that the attitudes of parents and children, and the reading attainment of the children were improved because of the parents' involvement and the use of real books related to the children's interests.…”
