Ready and Healthy for Kindergarten
The Contribution of Play Experiences in Early Literacy
Children’s experiences in preschool and kindergarten influence their future literacy learning. Although emergent literacy has traditionally been supported by play‐based experiences, there has been a decline in play opportunities in recent years. Media publications citing the science of reading have called for more focus on systematic, direct instruction of skills in phonics and phonemic awareness. However, from the perspective of the simple view …
Adverse Experiences in Early Childhood and Kindergarten Outcomes
OBJECTIVE: To examine associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in early childhood and teacher-reported academic and behavioral problems in kindergarten. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a national urban birth cohort. Subjects with primary caregiver-reported information on ACE exposures ascertained at 5 years and teacher-reported outcomes at the end of the chil…
The Effect of a Literature‐Based Program Integrated Into Literacy and Science Instruction With Children From Diverse Backgrounds
S The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of a literature‐based program integrated into literacy and science instruction on achievement, use of literature, and attitudes toward the literacy and science program. Six third‐grade classes with children from diverse backgrounds ( N = 128) were assigned to one control and two experimental groups (literature/science program and literature‐only program). Both standardized and informal writte…

The Effects of Group Size on Interactive Storybook Reading
THE AUTHORS investigated children's comprehension of stories and their verbal interactions during storybook readings in groups of varying sizes. Adults read storybooks to 27 kindergarten and first-grade children from five U.S. school districts. Each child heard three stories read in each of three settings: one-to-one, small-group (3 children per group), and wholeclass (15 children or more). Measures were taken on only the third reading in each se…
Young Children's Responses to One-to-One Story Readings in School Settings
CASE STUDY and correlational research has indicated that frequent exposure to story readings has positive effects on some aspects of early literacy. Much of the work on storybook readings has focused upon the interactive behavior between parent and child during one-to-one readings in middle-class homes. This study was designed to investigate whether frequent one-toone readings in a school setting would increase the number and complexity of commen…

Analysis of Syntax of Six-, Seven-, and Eight-Year-Old Children
Interest in the syntactic development of children's language has attracted the attention of linguists and educators during the last two decades. In his evaluation of this growing interest, Loban (1963) urged that the scientific study of language use new approaches for analysis and measurement. Endicott (1973) has stated that describing language for the purpose of research and curriculum design is essential. Information obtained from language rese…
