School readiness captures the skills, prior to formal schooling, that are necessary for children to achieve later academic and social-emotional success. Language and emergent literacy skills are important components of school readiness and lay the foundation for later reading skills. In this chapter, child (e.g., age of identification and enrollment in early intervention, hearing device use), family (e.g., socioeconomic status, parental beliefs), and home literacy environment (e.g., quantity and quality of shared book reading) factors will be presented as they directly relate to children’s development of school readiness skills. Implications are discussed for parents and professionals in early intervention about how interventions focused on parent–child interaction can contribute to language and emergent literacy skills.
