- Summary:
-
A study examined parental perceptions of young children's literacy development and explored the relationship between parental literacy level and perceptions of the importance of literacy artifacts and events/experiences in preschoolers' literacy development. Subjects, 108 parents of beginning kindergartners, were interviewed and given a test of literacy level. Statistical as well as interpretive analyses were used. Results indicated that parents were very positive about the notion that literacy learning can begin during the preschool years. There was, however, a significant negative relationship between parental literacy level and perceptions of the importance of literacy artifacts and events; parents with lower literacy levels thought literacy artifacts and events were even more important than did parents with higher literacy levels. Low-literacy and high-literacy parents tended to have different perceptions of what is important for early literacy development. (Five Tables of data and one figure are included.) (Author/MG)
