Abstract

Parents 1 play an essential role in their children’s early literacy development. They are responsible for how they introduce their children to the written language. This chapter focuses on mothers’ beliefs regarding early literacy skills related to writing development: 2 Letter knowledge, phonological awareness, and early writing. We present a comprehensive view of mothers’ beliefs, referring to their (1) general beliefs regarding preschoolers’ expected literacy knowledge and parents’ expected support; (2) specific beliefs regarding their own children’s literacy skills; and (3) specific beliefs when reflecting on a word-writing interaction with their children. The chapter explores the relations among these belief measures and their contribution to children’s early literacy skills: Letter knowledge, phonological awareness, and early writing. 3.
