The researcher conducted a discussion of changes of parental reading beliefs﹐parent-child reading behavior and children’s language competence. This study employs the research method of questionnaire surveys and semistructured interviews.The participants of this study were 10 parents and their preschool children. The findings of this study are as following： 1.The change of parental reading belief：（1）In cognition, parents express their willingness to apply a parent-child reading program to younger children and increase the parent-child reading time and frequency. The communication will become a dual-way instead of one-way delivery.（2）In affection, parents put more focus on children’s reading interests and sharing of content. 2.The change of parent-child reading behavior：（1）Parents increase the parent-children reading time and increase frequency in use of the library and bookstore.（2）Parents choose different types of books, and respect children’s choices.（3）Parents reduce teaching of words and bopomofo to children , but they provide correct explanations when necessary .（4）Parents encourage children to discover the relations between pictures and words.（5）Parents express the feeling of major characters in the stories to children , encouraging more discussions. 3.The change of children’s language competence：Parents think the parent-child reading can improve children’s vocabulary and their grasp of complete sentences. From a verbal measurement tool, we found that over 50% of the children indeed improve their verbal skills in listening and reading through the parent-child reading program. Parents express the feelings of major characters in the stories to children, and provide correct explanations when necessary.They also provide opportunities for children to express themselves and explore their imagination. According to the results of this study, suggestions are provided for other researchers, parents﹐and administrators for kindergartens and government officials.
