The parental engagement of the 1st graders of SD Ihsaniyah Gajahmada Tegal in their children’s early literacy phase is still not maximal. Reading has not become an important part of learning activities at home. Therefore, efforts must be made to encourage parents to pay more attention to children's reading interest by being directly involved in children’s reading activities. The reading aloud activity aims to arouse parental awareness and provide skills for parents of the 1st graders of SD Ihsaniyah Gajahmada Tegal to be able to accompany their children in reading books at home as an effort to develop reading interest from an early age. Materials and demonstration of reading aloud were delivered via podcast and broadcast on Youtube due to social restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic. Then, parents practiced reading aloud to their children at home. This activity was recorded and the video was sent to the service team for feedback and evaluation. Through this activity, parents could spend their time to assist their children in learning, especially reading. Children learned with enthusiasm and had a pleasant book reading experience. In addition, students' interest in reading will grow because they get a pleasant impression from reading aloud with their parents at home.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to test an ecological model of family, school and child links to reading outcomes in an extremely rich but developing country.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a multi-level, plausible value analysis of item response model-estimated test scores and survey responses from 4,120 children and their parents’ survey responses in 166 schools in Qatar.FindingsThe results show that family attributes (socio-economic status (SES), books at home, parent reading attitude and reading activities) are linked to children’s superior reading attitudes, reading self-concept and reading test scores. In contrast, teacher attributes and teaching methods show no significant link to reading test scores. Also, Qatari children report a poor school climate linked to lower reading self-concept and lower reading test scores.Research limitations/implicationsLimitations include parent reports rather than pre-tests, testing in only one domain, and cross-sectional data rather than longitudinal data.Practical implicationsAs family support is strongly linked to children’s reading performance, the Qatari Government can explore early childhood interventions at home (e.g. more books at home, support parent-child reading activities, etc.), especially for families with lower SES. As teacher attributes and lesson activities were not linked to children’s reading outcomes, the Qatari Government can study this issue more closely to understand this surprising result.Originality/valueThis is the first study to test an ecological model of Qatar’s fourth-grade children’s reading scores with a representative sample.

Reading occupies an important position in the context of life, especially in the era of information and technology as it is today. Reading habits from an early age will enrich children's insight which leads to a higher quality human identity. The earlier a child learns to read, the more he will cultivate the habit and love of reading. Parents as the main pillar in shaping children, have an important role in growing children's interest in reading from an early age. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of parents in fostering children's reading interest and what obstacles parents faced in fostering children's reading interest. This type of research is descriptive qualitative with data collection methods through observation and interviews. The subjects of this study were 10 parents of children aged 5-6 years in Gesik hamlet, Gesikharjo village. The results of this study are the role of parents in growing children's interest in reading is first through parenting, where parenting is influenced by education and parental knowledge about the importance of growing interest in reading from an early age. Second, the role of parents in setting an example for their children. Third, parents have a role in providing literacy-related facilities. Meanwhile, the obstacles faced by parents in cultivating children's reading interest are: 1) Children are more interested in playing mobile games, 2) Children's moods are up and down towards reading activities, 3) Unsupportive environment or friends.

The English and Chinese reading proficiency of 1376 Grade 4 students in 24 Hong Kong primary schools were assessed using measures developed for the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study. Students’ parents provided information about home reading activities (HRA) aimed at supporting their children’s reading prior to them entering school (“early home reading activities”, EHRA) and during Grade 4 (“home reading activities”). Results indicated that EHRA was a stronger predictor of reading performance in both Chinese and English than HRA. Moreover, ‘typical’ HRA such as reading books, telling stories and singing songs were found to be predictive of reading performance in both Chinese and English. In English, in addition, playing word games or character puzzles were also activities beneficial to reading performance. Together, these results provide evidence for the beneficial effects of traditional early childhood activities at home such as book reading, telling stories and singing songs for reading performance in later primary school in children’s first as well as second language.

The ability to read is important for an individual as it is related to language proficiency. Therefore, language proficiency among children is the foundation of cognitive development which involves the process of knowledge acquisition through reading activities. Various ways and methods can be applied in order to improve children’s reading skills. This is to ensure that they are not experiencing any problems during a learning session. This study aims to identify the teacher’s perspective towards the use of multisensory technique in a teaching lesson for 6-year-old pre-schoolers on reading open syllables. By using a qualitative approach, two teachers from a private pre-school in Shah Alam are chosen to participate in a semi-structured interview. Both teachers are experienced in the field of Malay literature, specifically in reading methods. The study has found that teachers used multisensory technique in reading lessons on how to read open syllables. It produced a positive effect towards the development of children’s reading skills. However, multisensory technique must be strengthened by using the proper material that is suitable for children to ensure its effectiveness.

Reading And Mathematics

This study investigated the beliefs parents of preschoolers ( N = 126) have for facilitating their children’s reading and mathematics development. The study used an online survey distributed via social media to examine parents’ views of their children’s home-based reading and mathematics engagement, parents’ confidence to support their children’s reading and mathematics development, and the information they received and would like to receive from their children’s teachers. The results demonstrated three patterns: (1) parents prioritized children’s reading over their mathematics development, (2) the difference in children’s reported engagement in such activities may come from parents lacking confidence in how to foster their children’s mathematics skills, and (3) almost two/thirds of the parents wanted to receive more information from their children’s teachers, typically about children’s progress and activities and apps to do with their children at home. Preschool teachers play an important role in supporting home learning of reading and mathematics. Preschool teachers and parents need to collaborate on home-based activities that support such learning. We have demonstrated that even highly educated parents may lack the confidence to support their young children’s academic growth, particularly in mathematics, and so the support teachers provide to parents is critical.

Children’S Reading

In late 20th century Britain, a paradigm of early literacy prevails within which the home "story-reading" experience — providing "enjoyment", "pleasure, " or "fun" to parent and child — is seen as an essential prerequisite for later school success. When children's reading expeňences do not fall within this paradigm, their knowledge about literacy remains invisible in the classroom. However, the findings in this paper belie the popular image that equates economic poverty with low literacy interests and achievement. The paper shows that, throughout the 20th century, the East London neighbourhood of Spitalfields has maintained a rich literacy on family and community levels. It argues that these literacy activities, although unrecognised by the school, act as important supports for the achievement of school literacy. The paper thus contributes to the theoretical debate on the role played by "unofficial" home and community literacy practices on children's reading development in school.
