Development of Early Literacy<\/h2>\n

In this project, we hypothesized that home literacy experiences would have a direct impact on\u00a0language and early-literacy skills. Parents’ knowledge of children’s literature was related to children’s oral language skills, whereas the amount of teaching about reading and writing reported by parents\u00a0was related to children’s acquisition of early-literacy skills. Furthermore, the impact of home\u00a0literacy factors was mediated through the language and early-literacy skills in that storybook\u00a0reading and parent teaching did not predict significant unique variance in reading at the end of\u00a0Grade 1.<\/p>\n

Our results provide support for a distinction between two different aspects\u00a0of home literacy experiences in that such experiences appear to play different roles in the\u00a0development of oral language and early literacy. Hence, home literacy experiences should not be\u00a0considered a unitary construct. Rather, storybook reading and parent teaching may be\u00a0independent experiences, with different links to early skills and, ultimately, to reading acquisition.<\/p>\n

EARLY FRENCH IMMERSION: HOME LITERACY EXPERIENCES<\/h3>\n

As a follow up to earlier work on home literacy in English speaking children, we explored the role of home experiences in the literacy and numeracy development of children in Early French Immersion. French Immersion is designed for children from Anglophone homes. Parents often wonder whether, for example, they should help their child learn to read in English. We followed children from Kindergarten to Grade 2. So far, our results support the two-process model of home literacy environments that we developed in earlier work (S\u00e9n\u00e9chal & LeFevre, 2002). Exposure to storybooks (e.g., through shared parent-child reading) facilitates children\u2019s acquisition of vocabulary whereas direct instruction in the mechanics of word reading is related to acquisition of early literacy skills. The same patterns held for children in EFI learning French at school and English at home as for English-speaking children being instructed in English.<\/p>\n
