To investigate the relationships among early and late parental literacy involvement, socioeconomic status (SES), and student reading literacy using Bourdieusian habitus theory.
Conducted multilevel analyses on survey data from 43,870 pupils (average age of 10 years) across 10 Western European regions.
Evaluated parental literacy activities conducted prior to primary school (early involvement) alongside activities during the fourth year of schooling (late involvement).
Early parental literacy involvement before primary school positively associated with increased reading literacy and higher levels of parental education.
Students with lower SES demonstrated significantly lower reading literacy scores and less favorable reading attitudes compared to higher SES peers.
Children from lower SES backgrounds experienced higher levels of late parental involvement, which served as a compensatory adjustment for reading difficulties in primary school.
