The survey questionnaire was given to the respondents to gather data. EGRA tool was also utilized in data gathering. Results revealed a significant relationship between reading achievement and demographic profile in terms of monthly income, highest education, and the number of children. The higher the parents' education level, occupational prestige, and income, the higher the children's reading ability and vice versa. The study revealed a significant relationship between reading achievement and the level of challenges of parents' involvement in the language spoken at home and parents' education. Moreover, parental education s a determining factor in children's reading abilities and achievement, confirming the relationship between parental education and children's literacy outcomes. Parents with higher schooling placed more excellent value on education and thus provided more materials and school-related activities for their children.
