This study aimed to understand parental involvement in the Bookstart program and examine the association between parental involvement in the program and their children's language skills. With the assistance of the New Taipei City public and private daycare centers, purposive sampling was used to select 184 parents from the city who received the Bookstart reading pack and whose children were 24-36 months old to participate in the study. Research data were collected using the parent questionnaire and the Mandarin-Chinese Communicative Development Inventory (Taiwan). For data analysis, descriptive statistics and Pearson product-moment correlations were employed. The main findings were as follows: (1) The Bookstart program was widely promoted in New Taipei City. More than 88% of the families started shared reading before the children turned two years old, and 81.4% of parents and children read together at least once a week for 11-20 minutes. (2) The earlier families started parent-child reading, the higher the frequency of reading was, and the longer the total reading time was, the better the children's vocabulary expression, use of language, and print concept skills were. (3) The more often parents used the reading packs, attended childcare lectures, and borrowed books from the library for their children, the better their children's print concept skills were (4) The more often parents adopted co-reading strategies and reading extension activities recommended in the Bookstart program, the better the overall language proficiency of the children were.
