Parent involvement (PI) during preschool has
been linked with strong pre-literacy skills, acquisition of
mathematical skills, well-developed social skills, and
positive attitudes toward school. Parents’ active involvement
in their children’s learning is a recommended strategy
in engaging families in children’s education experiences.
The purpose of the current study was to estimate the impact
of a parent-directed early literacy intervention on three
dimensions of PI—home-based, school-based, and homeschool
conferencing (HSC)—among Head Start parents
and their preschool-aged children. Twenty-four preschool
children (and their parents) were randomly assigned to an
intervention or active control group. PI was assessed at the
beginning and end of the intervention.
