Home Literacy Experiences of Preschoolers Enrolled in Head Start and Special Education Programs.

Marvin, Christine; Mirenda, Pat

Journal of Early Intervention, v17 n4 p351-67 Fall 1993

Analysis of 291 surveys representing preschool children considered at risk, with special education needs, or with no developmental delays revealed several intergroup differences. Respondents for children with special education needs placed the lowest priority on literacy development, had the lowest expectations for their children's future, and reported providing fewer types of early home literacy experiences.
