Abstract Details

2005, Masters in Education, Marietta College, Education.
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.
