A study assessed early literacy skills and expressive and receptive
vocabulary skills in 39 Head Start children and correlated skills with
measures of caregiver/child interactions observed in the home. Degree
of caregiver involvement, rate of language interactions, and
participation in early literacy activities were related to literacy
and language skills. (Author/CR)
