This study surveyed the literacy practices of 45 English-speaking parents of Latino kindergarten through second graders using English questionnaires. The results of the survey were similar in many respects to other studies of English-speaking Latinos and unlike studies of Spanish-speaking Latinos. Respondents reported numbers of children's books at home that were comparable to those of the general U.S. population, yet they also reported infrequent visits to libraries and bookstores. Parents additionally indicated that they engaged in several literacy activities with their children, including frequent shared book reading and discussion and having their children read to them.
