Explored the
relationship between the developmental appropriateness of kindergarten
classroom instruction and first-grade overall and individual subject
area reading test averages. Found that first graders from more appropriate
kindergarten classrooms had higher reading averages than children
from less appropriate kindergarten classrooms. Gender and socioeconomic
status were also found to affect overall averages and averages in
each subject area. (WP)
