The role of home environments in children’s literacy skills in Ghana: Parents, siblings, and books
Existing literacy studies in low-income countries heavily emphasize school factors. This article shifts focus, examining how home-based reading resources and interactions predict children’s reading via a non-experimental study. Data involve 2,886 children aged 5–13 in Ghana, selected through a two-stage random sampling. Regression analyses show that siblings and parents reading to the child, reading in front of the child, and assisting with studying positively predict children’s acquisition of varying reading skills, measured by the Early Grade Reading Assessment. The availability of home reading resources similarly predicts these outcomes. The results advocate for more literacy investments in homes, extending beyond schools.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the International Journal of Educational Development is to foster critical debate about the role that education plays in development. IJED seeks both to develop new theoretical insights into the education-development relationship and new understandings of the extent and nature of educational change in diverse settings. It stresses the importance of understanding the interplay of local, national, regional and global contexts and dynamics in shaping education and development. Orthodox notions of development as being about growth, industrialisation or poverty reduction are increasingly questioned. There are competing accounts that stress the human dimensions of development.
