This study aimed to examine the influence of temperament and home literacy on reading interests. The participants of this study were 102 first birth order toddlers, aged 27 months and their primary caregivers. Each primary caregiver was asked to complete four questionnaires: toddler personal information, 1 to 3 years old toddler temperament scale, home literacy questionnaire, and reading interest questionnaire. The main results show that temperament and home literacy predict children's reading interests. Parents reading perception, level of distraction, frequency of parent-child joint book reading ersistence and parents reading affection were the significant predictors of children's reading interests. The more positive parental perception of reading, the lower distraction level of toddlers, the higher frequency of parent-child joint book reading, the higher persistence of toddlers, the more positive feelings of parents towards reading, the higher toddler interests in reading. Discussion and suggestions for parents and future studies were provided. |
