In Applied Developmental Science, volume 17, issue 4, Claire E. Baker's article “Fathers’ and Mothers’ Home Literacy Involvement and Children's Cognitive and Social Emotional Development: Implications for Family Literacy Programs” contains errors on pages 189 and 192. Page 189 incorrectly states that “Three dimensions of children's social emotional development were assessed via direct observations when children were 24 months old … ” and “During the 24-month data collection the first bag contained a children's book … ” The children were instead assessed in pre-school, not at 24 months. Page 192 incorrectly states “Further, children with Caucasian fathers … who also had older mothers … had higher reading scores than children with African American fathers and younger mothers. In contrast, children with younger fathers had higher reading scores than children with older fathers … ” The children had higher math scores, not reading scores.
