The Impact of Parent Training Intervention in Early Years: Language and Literacy Development
Yumus, Melike; Turan, Figen
International Journal of Early Years Education, v30 n4 p697-713 2022
This study examined implementation of a newly developed shared book reading intervention program, to boost infants' early skills and provide a solid foundation for continued language learning. A randomised control study was conducted to elevate the effects of Shared Book Reading Intervention with 20 parents (n = 10 experiment, n = 10 control) and their infants/toddlers aged 8-16 months. The program including 12-week parental training, had a powerful alterable influence on infant's language comprehension, word production, and literacy skills. Additionally, findings provide further evidence that the shared book intervention instructional strategies helped parents learn language domain content. When taken together, the results suggest that parents have the potential to shape their infants' development in the short-term by initiating reading skill changes in their home environment.
