摘要：Relationships between parents' home literacy atitudes in low-income families and children's emergent literacy were studied with 107 children 4. and 5-years of age and their parents. Instruments were Kim and Kwon's (2006) questionnaire about parents' literacy atitudes,the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test- Revised (Kim et al,1995) and the Concepts About Print (CAP;Kim & Kim,2004). Results showed that parents of younger children were positive about reading books;parents of older children were positive about reading instruction. More positive parental felings about reading and higher frequencies of reading with the child were related to children's higher vocabulary scores. Children's CAP was positively related with amount of parents' reading instruction,home literacy resources,and number of child's books in the home.
