Abstract
If we want students to succeed and reach high levels of achievement in their reading abilities, it is important to recognize the development of emergent literacy skills in young children and their effect on later reading success. It is also important to recognize one way to develop these emergent literacy skills is through home literacy practices. Home literacy practices have a positive impact on children's emergent literacy skills prior to starting kindergarten and therefore having a positive effect on later reading success. A free, user-friendly website was created to share this information and research-based strategies with parents and families of young children, in hopes that it will create a positive effect on children's later reading success.
