The present study focused on the home literacy practice in childhood. In order to examine the role of fosterers who have the utter influence on children’s literacy, the study is targeted at fosterers presently nurturing children. Fosterers’ perception of the widely popular children’s animation was investigated. Survey questionnaires including various factors related to fosterer’s selection and showing of children’s animation were developed, distributed and collected to conduct a frequency analysis and a correlation analysis. The results showed that 1) children’s animation is a tool for in-home fostering as well as an entertaining medium of literacy practice, 2) is a medium of literacy practice selected for fosterers to see if it entertains their children and to provide appropriate stimulation, 3) while the respondents with positive attitude toward children’s animation tended to focus on the contents of the animation, the respondents with negative attitude expressed concerns over media, 4) fosterers expect to help their children change and mature, 5) has an impact on adult fosterers’ perception of children’s animation and helps heighten the understanding and sense of bonding between fosterers and their children, and 6) fosterers are more aware of the side effects when the number of days of viewing increased. The present study is significant in that it expanded the meaning of ‘parent’ factor, which has been introduced as one of the relevant elements of out-of-school literacy, to ‘fosterer’ and that it revealed the interaction of fosterers and their children in terms of their literacy practices.
