Abstract

Background

This paper investigates multiple antecedents of literacy in children, such as demographics, child reading behaviour, parent reading behaviour and family context.

Methods

The study included a Romanian sample of 924 primary schoolers (Grades 1–4) and their parents; children and parents were tested with a standardised measure of literacy, and parents answered a number of self-report questions about their and their child's literacy-related behaviours.

Results

Regression analyses and relative predictor weights showed a significant positive association between child literacy and child behaviour (time currently spent by the child reading books), as well as with family context (especially parent literacy), followed by demographics and, to a lesser degree, with parent behaviour.

Conclusions

The findings provide a first solid understanding of the children's literacy phenomenon in the less investigated educational and cultural environment of Romania and encourage further research on this important topic.

罗马尼亚儿童扫盲的先决条件

背景本文研究了儿童识字的多种前因，如人口统计学、儿童阅读行为、父母阅读行为和家庭环境。方法研究对象包括罗马尼亚的 924 名小学生（1-4 年级）及其父母；对儿童和父母进行了标准化的识字测试，父母回答了一系列关于自己和孩子识字相关行为的自我报告问题。结果回归分析和相对预测权重显示，儿童识字率与儿童行为（儿童目前阅读书籍所花费的时间）以及家庭环境（尤其是家长识字率）之间存在显著的正相关，其次是人口统计学，其次是家长行为。
