Effects of a community‐based literacy program on 1−, 2−, and 3‐year‐old children's language and conceptual development were assessed. University students were trained to teach Head Start parents effective methods for reading to their children. Families were randomly assigned to receive 18, 3, or 0 instructional visits. Results indicated that parents in the 18‐instructional‐visit program increased their participation in appropriate literacy behaviors such as reading to their children, teaching concepts to their children, and using the library, more than parents in the 0‐instructional‐visit groups. Children in the 18‐instructional‐visit program showed greater gains in language and conceptual development than children in the 0‐instructional‐visit group. Few differences were found between children in the 3‐visti and 0‐instructional‐visit groups. Thus, only a high‐intensity community‐based intervention designed to train parents was effective in increasing emergent literacy in low‐income ethnic children
