Home environment [edit ]
The environment of low SES (socioeconomic status) children is characterized by less dialogue from parents, minimal amounts of book reading, and few instances of joint attention, the shared focus of the child and adult on the same object or event, when compared to the environment of high SES children. In contrast, infants from high SES families experience more child-directed speech. At 10 months, children of high SES hear on average 400 more words than their low SES peers. Language ability differs sharply as a function of SES, for example, the average vocabulary size of 3-year-old children from professional families was more than twice as large as for those on welfare ~moved here~. '''Socioeconomic status plays a huge role (need data, huge role is ery essay) in the involvement of certain parents over others. It affects parenting practices and as a result proves to be a strong predictor of child achievement when comparing households . (look into Lareau's concerted cultivation and accomplishment of natural growth for good citations) A parent’s involvement in their child's reading literacy progress is often overcome by generational disadvantages. (like?) Studies show that when parents become involved in reading-related activities with their children outside of school “ reading performance is likely to improve, along with literacy and language skills, and a general love for reading...” . Not only is parent involvement in students’ education a large factor in their literacy achievement but the way they part has a large impact on the overall development. (felt like a filler sentence, could use more concrete info) These kinds of involvements are often determined by privilege and the level of stress that a parent must endure, especially when of low socioeconomic status. The reading literacy gap has been further elongated by the enhancement of these already existing inequalities.'''

Children from lower income households had greater media access in their bedrooms but lower access to portable play equipment compared to higher income children. This eventually leads children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds to be at a disadvantage when comparing them with their counterparts in terms of access to physical activities. '''This same trend is seen today (what is today?) in the age of technological advancement and even more so the forced remote learning of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Limited access to the correct school resources affects a child literacy level dramatically, even more so during the switch to online learning, given the combination of decreased parent involvement and access to outdoor play. This same trend is seen today in the age of technological advancement and even more so the forced remote learning of the 2020 pandemic. (what trends?) In a 2013 report by the US Department of Commerce, it was found that only 55% of African American and 58% rural households had any internet access in their home. This can be compared to the 74% of white and 81% of Asian American homes that had reliable internet.''' df
