This study reports on how parents view their child's contributions to home reading situations. The core of the study concerns characteristics of home reading sessions as routine institutional practices of the family in which parent–child book-reading processes are conducted. The sample consisted of 21 parents who were individually interviewed about their home reading with their preschool age children. The data show that in interactions over textual materials parents and children employ a range of behaviours which, on the child's part, have agentic qualities. Within the data, six fundamental strategies employed by the children were identified: book selection, monitoring reading, commenting, questioning, expanding, and reading-time negotiation. All of these show that children can initiate and perform purposeful actions in order to achieve goals that they value. This testifies to the possession of agency on the part of the child.

Uchunguzi huu unaripoti jinsi wazazi wanavyoona mchango wa mtoto wao katika hali za kusoma nyumbani. Kiini cha utafiti inahusu sifa ya kikao cha kusoma nyumbani kama mazoea ya kawaida ya taasisi ya familia ambayo mchakato wa wazazi-mtoto wa kusoma vitabu hufanywa. Mfano huo ulijumuisha wazazi 21 ambao walihojiwa moja kwa moja kuhusu kusoma kwao nyumbani na watoto wao wa umri wa kabla ya shule. Takwimu zinaonyesha kwamba katika maingiliano juu ya vifaa vya maandishi wazazi na watoto hutumia aina ya tabia ambayo, kwa upande wa mtoto, ina sifa za wakala. Katika data, mikakati sita ya msingi iliyotumiwa na watoto ilitambuliwa: uteuzi wa vitabu, ufuatiliaji wa kusoma, kutoa maoni, kuuliza, kupanua, na mazungumzo ya wakati wa kusoma. Hii inaonyesha kwamba watoto wanaweza kuanzisha na kutekeleza vitendo vyenye kusudi ili kufikia malengo wanayothamini. Hilo linathibitisha kwamba mtoto ana uwezo wa kuchagua.
