<p> The purpose of this study was to address two research questions: After parents participated in a brief, language-focused parent-training program: (1) To what extent does the parent-training influence children’s vocabulary development and (2) To what extent does the parent-training influence parents’ role as a language facilitator in regards to their perceptions, strategies and knowledge of language and literacy concepts.</p><p> Pre-and post-parent-training, assessment was conducted and used to measure growth within each participant group. A standardized vocabulary test was administered to the child participants and a parent questionnaire was administered to the parent participants. Data were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results from this study found that parent-training can increase children’s vocabulary and parent’s perceptions, knowledge and skills pertaining to their role as their child’s language facilitator.</p><p> </p>
