How can it be that a child with a lot of books in her home does well at school even if she never reads them? Left out an important environmental factor - homes with lots of books and parents who read regularly have a positive influence on the children. Kids are socialized into an environment where reading is normal, acceptable, and perceived as an enjoyable and worthwhile activity.

It would be hard to isolate that effect though, since its so tied to the parents' socioeconomics to begin with. Is it the affluence and education of the parents, or the influence of the subtle environmental cues? Derek
