- Summary:
-
A study was conducted to verify and extend the limited research on children's home reading. Subjects, 26 third- and 40 fifth-grade students from two elementary schools were asked to respond to questions concerning their home reading habits and were also interviewed. Data analysis revealed a significant difference between high- and low-ability students in frequency of home reading, suggesting that high-ability readers, at both third- and fifth-grade, do engage in home reading activities more often than low-ability readers, confirming earlier studies. Findings suggest that the combined influences of home and school help make reading successful and pleasurable for the child and hold the key to improving the child's reading ability and willingness to read. (Three tables of data are included.) (NH)
