This report published by the Center for the Improvement of Early Reading Achievement (CIERA), examines the effect of sociocultural elements on Latina/o children's engagement with reading. The report suggests that family workload, nurturing, and family culture and language are all significantly related to children's attitudes toward reading and their self-concept as readers.
