Home and Classroom Experiences of Young Children

Reading Research

Young children develop their cognitive and academic skills in multiple developmental contexts, especially their home and classroom. These environments are multi-faceted and interacted with other factors in influencing children’s development and learning. We have inquired the importance of home and classroom learning environments and how the learning environments are shaped by outside factors. The project is supported by University of Utah Faculty Research Grant.
