Forty-four inner-city, Year 2 Canadian children were interviewed individually about their home reading practices. Qualitative findings showed that not many adults read to children in their homes and that many children do not read to others in their homes. Unexpectedly, these environments were more common for boys than for girls. Furthermore, boys were twice as likely to read to siblings as were girls. The findings were examined within a systems ecological view and suggest that sibling relationships are a potential resiliency mechanism for addressing boys' underachievement in reading and school.
