The positive effects of reading at a young age on language development are well established in literature (Ho, et. al. 2023; Patel, et. al., 2024; Liss, et. al., 2012; Fletcher & Reese, 2005; Deitcher, et. al., 2019; Muhinyi & Rowland, 2023) There are benefits from the experience of being read to in addition to the direct effects on literacy achievements. This study of 153 primary caregivers of one to three year olds focused on the attitudes and beliefs that the parents hold in regards to their role in reading with their child and the culture they are part of. Results of an online survey in three countries found that more involved parenting beliefs about parenting in general and reading specifically predicted higher engagement in reading behaviors. Additionally, culture as defined by country of residence, had a significant effect on the attitudes of parents and their subsequent behaviors. However, the relationship between reading behaviors and language milestone achievements was only significant because of the child’s age. This study contributes to the body of knowledge about child language development by exploring a cultural component.
