Summary

This will be a time series prospective cohort and comparison group design to evaluate the effect on home literacy environments of the Reach Home and Read intervention as compared to standard programming provided by home visiting staff. The intervention will consist of staff training for East Durham Children's Initiative (EDCI) early childhood staff and the provision of an age appropriate book at their home visits.

The control group will be children receiving the current EDCI home visiting programming. The intervention group will receive standard EDCI programming and the Reach Home and Read intervention administered by the EDCI early childhood home visiting staff.

The standardized StimQ home literacy assessment tool will be used to measure changes in the home literacy environment. Additionally, a qualitative portion of this study will inform future research and tool-kit design. The design is a qualitative descriptive study that utilizes the methodologies of focus groups for data collection.

Reach Home and Read Toolkit

The toolkit currently includes one age-appropriate book along with a set of educational pamphlets explaining the importance home literacy. These educational materials focus on appropriate literacy milestones and descriptions of how parents can engage with their children around books. In addition, we will create an information sheet outlining zipcode-specific community literacy resources, including location and information on how to access the library, where to obtain low-cost books, and a schedule of literacy promotion activities in their community (e.g. community reading sessions). All materials will also be translated into Spanish by a certified interpreter, and will be reviewed to ensure that they are written at a fifth grade reading level. Additionally, EDCI families receiving this intervention will also receive an additional new book at each home visit conducted during the study period.
