The evidence on the availability of educational resources in the home and educational attainment has been mixed. Myers, et al. (1992), in an analysis of a NLSY data, found that those who grew up with more reading resources in the home had higher levels of schooling, after accounting for background factors. However, Borus and Carpenter (1984) found that having substantial reading material in home was not predictive of college attendance among a sample of high school seniors.
