The Effects of Preacademic Experiences on Kindergarten Readiness

Title:	The Effects of Preacademic Experiences on Kindergarten Readiness
Author:	Haught, Aundrea E.
Description:	The purpose of this study was to determine if children who attended preschool are better prepared for kindergarten as measured by their performance on the Dial-R Test of Kindergarten Readiness. Participants included 37 kindergarten students. One school in rural Washington County, Ohio was selected in a cluster sample of schools in a rural district in Washington County. A paired sample T-test was conducted on the mean scores on the Dial-R Test of Kindergarten Readiness to determine if a significant difference exists between the groups. Implications for public policy regarding preschool attendance were discussed. This study concluded that children who attended preschool at least 3 times per week performed better on the DIAL-R Test of Kindergarten Readiness than children who did not attend.
