"The writer chose reading readiness for special study and research primarily because she is a trained, experienced, secondary-school teacher now teaching the first grade. She feels that special attention should be given to reading readiness for beginning first graders to try to offset part of the 25 per cent who 'fail' each year due to inability 'to read.' Since a good start on the road to reading is so vitally important, the author feels that she, as a first-grade teacher, should study the causes of reading failures and search for the best methods of prevention that reliable research has found up to this time. The desire to explore the field of reading readiness was further strengthened from the writer's study of child growth and development, especially the study of applying the principles of child growth and development to the classroom and to educational activities"--Introduction. / "August, 1954." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Marian W.
