Discusses factors related to parental involvement and reading
achievement, including the benefits of parents reading to children,
home environment factors, socioeconomic factors, barriers to parental
involvement, and school involvement. Investigates whether parental
involvement made a difference in the reading achievement of 30 second
graders in a remedial reading program. Finds that despite good
intentions, very little parental involvement actually occurred. (SR)
