An Assessment of Preschool Education Options for Rural and Small Village Areas.

Sawyer, Walter E.; Sawyer, Jean C.

Research in Rural Education, v1 n1 p7-10 Fall 1982

Readiness skills measured effects of no treatment, home based programs, formal preschool programs, and a combination of the latter two on 90 incoming kindergarteners. Conclusions indicate cooperative home/school bonds are important for improving preschool readiness skills and home based programs can provide important developmental experiences in areas without formal programs.
