Popis: Today it is believed that children acquire skills and knowledge about literacy before they begin formal schooling. These skills and knowledge are termed as “emergent literacy” and are affected by “home literacy environment” where children grow up. By providing literacy related materials and engaging in literacy activities with their children, parents support the development of these skills in their children. This review paper provides definitions and dimensions of home literacy environment and how this environment works to support emergent literacy skills of young children.
