Studied interactions
which are related to written language, attachment security, and
emergent literacy between 45 mothers and their children, aged one-and-a-half
to five-and-a-half years. Results suggest that mothers give reading
instruction to small children by naming letters and well-known words
which contain those letters. Mother-child interaction is related
to attachment security and emergent literacy. (RJC)
