Do parents know their children's reading interests? The study reported in this article investigated and analyzed some of the relationships between the reading preferences of elementary-school children and parental estimates of those choices. Particular consideration was given to the following questions: (1) With what degree of accuracy do groups of parents predict children's preferences for annotated titles? (9) How accurately do parents rank the broad types of juvenile literature? (3) What effects, if any, do such factors as the child's age, sex, grade, intelligence, and reading ability exert on the relationships between the preferences of parents and children?
