„Reading activities of children are important for their reading skill development and parents seem to have substantial impact on the development of children’s leisure time reading behavior. When children are in preschool age, already important early literacy skills develop as do aspects of reading motivation and reading behavior. Sources of parental influence are mainly expected from joint book reading, joint library visits – both aspects of informal literacy activities – and letter teaching (one aspect of formal literacy activities).“
