Families as Social Contexts for Literacy Development.
Snow, Catherine E.
New Directions for Child Development, n61 p11-24 Fall 1993
Reviews three studies that focused on ways in which social interactions within the family support literacy acquisition. Suggests that parents' most important contributions to their children's literacy development may come through language interactions, such as storytelling and interactions that foster vocabulary development, rather than through print-related activities.
