To determine change in home reading environment, Investigators will examine differences in the Read subscale of the measure of Cognitive Stimulation provided in the home (StimQ) from baseline to 2 months. The Read subscale of the StimQ is a validated 14-item parent self-report questionnaire designed to measure of the home reading environment for children ages 5 to 72 months of age with a maximum score of 18 and a minimum score of 0. The higher score indicates a better home reading environment. The change in score from baseline to follow-up (2-months) will be used.

To determine change in parenting stress, Investigators will examine differences in the Parenting Stress Index- Short Form (PSI-SF) from baseline to follow-up (2 months). The PSI-SF is a validated 36-item scale that measures parenting stress, and it has been shown to have excellent internal consistency and to be positively associated with maternal psychological distress. The scores can range from 36 to 180 with an higher scores overall indicating higher levels of parenting stress. The change in score from baseline to follow-up (2-months) will be used.

Timeframe: 2 months

Investigators will measure reading frequency as the average number of days per week of reported parent-child shared reading. This is a measure of parent's self-reported reading frequency using question 2 from Cognitive Stimulation Provided in the Home Measure Reading Subscales, Parents are asked "How many days each week do you read children's books to your child?". Scores will be collected at baseline and at the 2-month follow-up. Change in reading frequency will be computed by subtracting the days reading at baseline from the days reading at follow-up.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 months

Population: A total of 7 participants did not complete DECA. 3 participants were lost to follow-up and 4 participant scores were dropped (\>18 mo at time of measure completion).

Investigators will measure child socio-emotional development at 2 months using the Devereax Early Childhood Assessment (DECA), a validated 33-item parent report of social emotional problems for children 9-36 months of age. All 33 items are used to calculate the raw total protective factor (TPF). 18/33 items are used to calculate raw Initiative sub scale (infant's ability to use independent thought and action to meet his/her needs). 15/33 items are used to calculate raw Attachment/Relationships sub scale (mutual, strong, long-lasting relationship between the infant and significant adults such as family members, and teachers). Higher scores indicate greater social emotional development. For all 33 items parents can report (Never 0, Rarely 1, Occasionally 2, Frequently 3, Very Frequently 4). Raw total scores can range from 0-132, with higher scores indicating a better outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 months

Population: A total of 7 participants were unable to be used in CDI calculations. 3 participants were lost to follow-up and an additional 4 participant scores were dropped due to aging out of measure's age range (\>18 mo at time survey was completed).

Investigators measured child language development at 2 months using the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory (CDI), a validated parent report scale of early child language development for children 8-30 months of age. Parents are asked to indicate the words their child understands but does not yet say in the first column (understands). For words that their child understands, Parents are asked to indicate which words their child says in the second column (understand and says). The raw total scores are inputted into a norming table for the CDI where a production (understand and says) and comprehension (understands) scores are generated based on the child's age and gender. Total scores can range from (0-178) with higher scores on the norming chart correlating to a higher percentile in comprehension or production. Total score is calculated by using summed scores where: blank = 0, understands = 1 and understands and speaks=2. Total scores were converted to percentile scores.
