This study examined the relations among the diversity of the social groupings in which children participated in home literacy events, and the social groupings, oral language, and literacy in primary school literacy events. We found that diversity of experiences in home literacy events related to diversity in social groupings in school literacy events. Varied school social groups were contexts in which children generated ‘literate’ oral language; talk about language and talk about mental states, in turn, related to measures of reading and writing. Results indicated an inter‐relation among measures of oral language, reading, and writing in first grade. Results are discussed in terms of diverse social network theory and the influence of cognitive decentration on language and literacy
