Laura Cutler studies early childhood literacy and family involvement in young children's learning, with a particular focus on shared book reading between parents (especially fathers) and children. Her work also examines how children's literature and picture books portray fathers, teachers, and the transition to kindergarten, as well as characteristics of home-based child care providers. This research is generally relevant to prospective students interested in early literacy development, family engagement in education, and representations of caregiving roles in children's media.
