„The development of reading comprehension is closely tied to the activity of reading, as avid readers are assumed to become good readers, which in consequence promotes further regular reading. However, many children struggle on their way of becoming a competent reader and do not read on their own. Therefore, the identification of variables that relate to such an active reading lifestyle is of high importance. Our findings clearly support the view that already in preschool age through the provision of joint book reading activities parents can support children’s later leisure time reading.“
