Abstract
For more than a decade, research has demonstrated the importance of parent‐child interactions in developing literacy. Language and literacy theories have been generated and research has been conducted on home literacy strategies. Evidence confirms that parent literacy programs are effective in the children's literacy development. Research on the value of extensive interventions can suggest ways to improve the parents’ interactions with their children during literacy experiences.Keywords
