Abstract
In order to identify culturally adaptive approaches to socialization of school readiness skills involving siblings in Latinx families, researchers investigated how Latinx older siblings interact with younger siblings in the context of shared reading to support social emotional skills in three Latinx immigrant families. Analyses revealed that older siblings demonstrated socialization practices such as using commands or questions and using social cues, which appeared to foster focal children's engagement. Older siblings also modeled connecting to prior knowledge, problem solving, negotiation of roles, and asking for and providing help, which seemed to enable children's autonomous social participation. Importantly, practices co-occurred with warm and responsive interaction styles. Findings inform how Latinx immigrant families socialize emotional skills to accomplish early literacy tasks using practices that may be culturally specific and aligned with parental socialization.
