Importance of Home in the Literacy Process of Child

A type of human service known as an intergenerational program (IGP) involves regular, planned contacts between people of different ages for the benefit of all participants. Children enter school with widely variable levels of emerging literacy, and it is generally known that these levels are an important indicator of subsequent literacy and, consequently, of academic performance in general. Children's early competency development is significantly influenced by the home learning environment. Children's language comprehension and production are particularly tightly related to the early home literacy environment (HLE), which is made up of all literacy materials and family interactions that enhance children's linguistic and literacy learning. Shared reading is a crucial component of the HLE and should begin in a child's early years and become a regular part of family life. However, little research has been done on the impact of the HLE and a child's interest in literacy on later literacy skills. In this review study, we investigated the importance of Home in the literacy process of child and how different aspects in home effect the literacy capability of child.
