Why reading makes a difference
Specifically parental involvement with reading activities at home has significant positive influences not only
- n reading achievement, language comprehension
and expressive language skills (Gest, Freeman, Domitrovich, and

attitudes towards reading and attentiveness in the classroom
(Rowe, 1991)
