Reading aloud to children has been linked to young children’s development of reading and writing skills and children’s later success in reading. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of parents’ book reading on children's print awareness skills without providing any information or training to the parents about story book reading. The convenience sample of the study consisted of 20 preschoolers (7 boys and 13 girls) and their mothers all from middle socio-economic status in Balıkesir Province. In the present study, one group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design was used. Early Childhood Print Awareness Checklist was used to assess children’s print awareness skills in pre- and post-test. Mothers were asked to read a total of 8 picture story books twice a week. The results demonstrated that regularly reading quality picture story books at home, even without a training to do so, increase children's print awareness skills. Experimental studies focusing on the effects of training programs about different reading techniques provided parents on their children’s early literacy skills were suggested.
