The average number of activities that adults engaged in with children was four. The table also indicates that the fathers involvement in one or more activities was 62%. Fathers support to their children s learning is highest in the South region (74%) while it is lowest in the Central Highlands region (46%). Interestingly, children living in households with middle level socio-economic status have the highest rate of support from the father for the child s learning, while children living in households with the wealthiest socio-economic status have the lowest rate of support from the father towards the child s learning. Variances were also found by the father s educational level, in that fathers with secondary education or higher participated in one or more activities with the child more often (73%) than did fathers with no education (59%). Fathers engaged in activities with boys (63%) only slightly more than with girls (60%). Higher proportions of adults engaged in learning and school readiness activities with children in urban areas (80%) than in rural areas (72%). Strong differentials by region and socioeconomic status are also observed: adult engagement in activities with children was greatest in the Central Highlands region (81%) and lowest in the South East region (62%), while the proportion was 80% for children living in the wealthiest households, as opposed to those living in the poorest households (72%). Children s Exposure to Reading Material and Play Items Exposure to books during a child s early years not only provides the child with greater understanding of the nature and purpose of print literacy, but may also give the child opportunities to see others reading, such as older siblings doing school work. The presence 104
of books in the household is important for later school performance and literacy development. In the <strong>AMICS</strong>, the mothers/caretakers of all children under age five were asked about the number of children s books or picture books they have for the child, household objects or outside objects, and homemade toys, or toys in the home that came from a shop.

The proportion of children with 10 or more books declines to almost 0%. While no gender variances are observed, urban children (5%) appear to have more access to children s books than children living in rural households (2%). 105
