HSES families use children's literature, aesthetic reading and they talk to their children during story reading sessions significantly more than LSES families do. This variability depicte… Show more

“…There is strong evidence that several factors in the years prior to school are critical to the convergence of a number of interrelated skills such as phonological awareness and decoding that are mastered by most children in formal school settings (Dickinson and McCabe, 2001). These include child factors such as language development (Dickinson and McCabe, 2001), cognitive development (Fellowes and Oakley, 2010) and children’s orientation to learning (Claxton and Carr, 2004) as well as home factors such as home literacy practices (Weigel et al, 2006a) and socio-economic status (Natsiopoulou et al, 2006), although the impact of the latter remains controversial.…”

“…Například výzkum Justicové, Bowlese a Skibbeové (2006) zjistil zaostávání dětí z chudých rodin v USA v testu znalostí konvencí textu v porovnání s dětmi z příznivého sociálního prostředí. Výzkumy nejen z anglicky mluvícího prostředí, ale také například z Řecka, Nizozemí a Německa poukázaly na důležitost podnětného čtenářského prostředí pro rozvoj čtenářské pregramotnosti dětí a pro jejich postoj ke čtení a knize (Natsiopoulou et al, 2006;Van Steensel, 2006;Niklas et al, 2016).…”

“…Families differ in their reasons for sharing books with children (e.g., entertainment, academic learning; Bergman Deitcher, Aram, & Adar, 2017;Natsiopoulou, Souliotis, Kyridis, & Hatzisavvides, 2006), which might manifest in how mothers share books with their children and explain associations between book content and the characteristics of book sharing. For instance, parents who view book sharing as an opportunity to teach pre-academic skills might provide children with a variety of concept books (e.g., number, color, or letter books) that touch on different cognitive domains.…”
