Abstract
The purpose of the article is the presentation of the results of International Adult Literacy Survey – IALS regarding family literacy in Slovenia. There is an analysis of data for N=846 parents of school children. One of the most important variable of family influence in the past connected with adult literacy level is the parent's level of education. The influence of adult as parents on the development of literacy of their children is also connected with level of their education and factors in relation with them (living conditions, free time activities etc.). Much more important than the access to literacy material are different literacy activities from family members (book reading, visiting library etc.).
