ABSTRACT This article presents findings from the first year of a multiyear investigation of the implementation of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library (DPIL) book distribution program as part of one community’s long-term initiative to improve early literacy skills. The authors describe (a) the study’s logic model and associated theory of change, (b) findings and their connection to the short-term outcomes in the model, and (c) findings-based adjustments to the model. When compared to parent reports from the baseline year, Year 1 parents of rising kindergartners reported greater frequency of shared book reading (SBR), greater engagement with their children during SBR, and greater children’s interest in being read to. Findings also revealed the need for additional strategies to support DPIL enrollment and maximize family SBR experiences.

探索基于社区的图书分发计划的短期影响

摘要 本文介绍了多莉帕顿想象力图书馆 (DPIL) 图书分发计划实施多年调查的第一年的结果，该计划是一个社区提高早期识字技能的长期计划的一部分。作者描述了 (a) 研究的逻辑模型和相关的变化理论，(b) 结果及其与模型中短期结果的联系，以及 (c) 基于结果对模型的调整。与基线年份的家长报告相比，初中生的第一年家长报告说，共享书籍阅读 (SBR) 的频率更高，在 SBR 期间与孩子的参与度更高，以及孩子对阅读的兴趣更大。调查结果还表明需要额外的策略来支持 DPIL 注册和最大化家庭 SBR 体验。
