The measurement tool was the Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Reading Assessment. This study used a quasi-experimental design. The researcher analyzed reading achievement of second graders with and without pre-kindergarten schooling. Reading achievement was slightly higher in the group of students who had attended prekindergarten but so significant differences were found. Research shows many benefits of prekindergarten on reading readiness for young students.26 pagesen-USThis work may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
