  text: Home literacy environment (HLE) makes an important contribution to children's
    reading acquisition in early years. Even though some research on children's perception
    exists, children's reports about HLE have been neglected. The present study focuses
    on N = 281 six-year-old's reports about HLE and its influences on literacy enjoyment,
    frequency, and early literacy skills. Parents' educational background was expected
    to predict children-perceived HLE. A positive impact of active HLE on literacy
    enjoyment and frequency were found. HLE also mediates the relation between parents'
    background and enjoyment. The importance of children's perspective on HLE regarding
    family literacy programs is discussed.
