Parental Involvement in the Reading Readiness and Reading Performance of Kindergarten Children: A Field Study
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis study was designed to present a reading readiness and reading program to kindergarten children through the use of parental involvement. In all the parent-oriented programs studied, parental involvement significantly improved the reading achievement of the child. The studies have shown that children can learn to read at an early age, that the formal approach to reading instruction can succeed at the kindergarten level, and that parental involvement can improve children's school performance. In the available literature, no study has found that parental involvement produces a negative effect on a child's reading achievement. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a program in which teacher-initiated prescriptive prereading and reading skills could be taught in the kindergarten classroom and then practiced at home with parental help.
