You might say "duh" but the controls in the study are facinating. Just being in the presnse of print flipping through them, etc. makes a difference. 

Having more #books growing up, even if you don't necessarily read more, improves educational outcomes, a study finds. "No matter what we controlled for, we always got this advantage of growing up around books" @guardian https://t.co/ZVDwc4dhur #edchat #reading #parents #parenting
