Creator ASHASIM, CATHERINE
 
Description This study examined parental involvement in stimulating emergent literacy among children The study was carried out in Jalingo Local Government Area of Taraba State. The descriptive survey design was employed on 300 parents sampled using the stratified sampling technique in Jalingo metropolis. Findings of the study show that most parents encourage pre-reading by reading to their children. Also, the homes do not provide sufficient stimulus for pre-reading and parents in do not provide sufficient pre-reading materials for their children. Finally, parents do not sufficiently write stories together with their children based on their vocabulary and experience towards stimulating emergent reading and ability of child to read. It was concluded that that the involvement of parents towards stimulating emergent reading among children in Jalingo metropolis is not sufficient. The study recommends that Reading teachers can enlighten parents at PTA meetings, on suggestions on how to encourage their children. Also, parents should guide their children towards readiness through discussions of objects, pictures and games.
