Also known as the "sibling spillover effect", this effect describes how an older sibling's academic success or even a specific educational intervention they received positively influences their younger sibling's achievement, often through shared learning, role modeling, and increased academic engagement at home, particularly benefiting younger siblings in reading skills.
