Training early visuo-spatial abilities: A controlled classroom-based intervention study (2019, background): “This takes up previous research suggesting that home environment and parents’ educational background and financial resources are as (or for some aspects even more) important as classroom activities (Dearing et al., 2012; Melhuish et al., 2008).”
Child and Home Predictors of Early Numeracy Skills in Kindergarten. (2012, background): “This suggests that both in-child abilities and children’s home experiences form the foundation of early numeracy learning in school (LeFevre et al., 2009; Melhuish et al., 2008).”
Home Numeracy Environments of Preschoolers: Examining Relations Among Mathematical Activities, Parent Mathematical Beliefs, and Early Mathematical Skills (2015, background): “Cross-cultural research and research with diverse samples of families suggest that early home experiences influence the development of both early literacy and mathematics (Anders et al., 2012; Melhuish et al., 2008; Rodriguez & Tamis-LeMonda, 2011).”
To read or not to read: a meta-analysis of print exposure from infancy to early adulthood. (2011, background): “, Duursma, 2007; Wood, 2002) and the acquisition of conventional reading skills in the primary grades (e.g., Connor, Son, Hindman, & Morrison, 2005; Melhuish et al., 2008; Molfese, Modglin, & Molfese, 2003).”
Distinct Influences of Mothers and Fathers on Kindergartners’ Numeracy Performance: The Role of Math Anxiety, Home Numeracy Practices, and Numeracy Expectations (2017, background): “…the home learning environment is related to the availability of educational resources and to children’s academic performance (e.g., Fan & Chen, 2001; Graue, Weinstein, & Walberg, 1983; Jeynes, 2003, 2005; Melhuish et al., 2008; Nye, Tuner, & Schwartz, 2007; Sénéchal, 2006; Snow & Van Hemel, 2008).”
The influence of child, family, home factors and pre-school education on the identification of special educational needs at age 10 (2011, methodology): “The quality of the early years HLE was measured by an index that represents the self-reported frequency of parental activities such as reading to the child, listening to the child read and taking the child to the library (Melhuish et al., 2008).”
One Step at a Time: The Effects of an Early Literacy Text Messaging Program for Parents of Preschoolers (2014, neutral): “These disparities likely have significant consequences, as children who experience responsive and stimulating parental care tend to score higher on assessments of motor, social, emotional, literacy, and numeracy skills than those who do not (Anderson, 2006; Bradley, Corwyn, Burchinal, McAdoo & Garcí”
Socioeconomic Status and Preschoolers' Mathematical Knowledge: The Contribution of Home Activities and Parent Beliefs (2015, background): “…and children’s mathematical knowledge (Blevins-Knabe & Musun-Miller, 1996; LeFevre, Polyzoi, Skwarchuk, Fast, & Sowinski, 2010; LeFevre et al., 2009; Melhuish et al., 2008; Skwarchuk, 2009) as well as between parents’ beliefs about early mathematical development and children’s mathematical…”
Why numerical symbols count in the development of mathematical skills: evidence from brain and behavior (2016, background): “Indeed, the influence of childcare settings on early numeracy skills has been investigated in Canada [8], the UK [9], and the US [10], with all three suggesting that improving early childcare provisions could increase school readiness and in turn lead to higher school mathematics achievement.”
Role of Parent Literacy and Numeracy Expectations and Activities in Predicting Early Numeracy Skills (2015, background): “Other studies included home literacy questions in a more composite home learning environment questionnaire (e.g., Melhuish et al., 2008) and found positive effects of the home environment on numeracy.”
