Parent-child book reading impacts academic achievement in Grade 3

Research output: Other contribution to conferenceAbstractpeer-review

Abstract

Long term academic benefits from parent-child book reading was examined with a population sample of 3547 young children (aged 1-2 years). Multiple regression analyses demonstrated that reading with young children impacted their language, literacy, and numeracy skills in Grade 3 (8-9 years). Speech-language pathologists are encouraged to support parents to read books to young children and acknowledge the long-term benefits.
