Home-Oriented Preschool Education.
Alford, Roy W., Jr.
In an effort to bring preschool training opportunities to economically disadvantaged young children in rural areas, the Appalachia Educational Laboratory has devised a program using educational television, weekly home visitation by paraprofessional school personnel, and mobile classrooms. Evaluation of the program indicates that children who have participated in the program have increased language development and cognitive learning, and greater psychomotor and social skills development. The cost of the program was found to be approximately one-half that of the standard kindergarten program. (VM)
