Harris suggests the following as important to readiness for reading: 'general intelligence, visual and auditory perception, physical health, background of experience, comprehension and use of oral English, emotional and social adjustment, and interest in reading'...As a first grade teacher, the writer became especially interested in two of these factors. As a result of such teaching experience, two of these interrelated readiness factors have seemed of special significance: the influence of emotional attitudes on reading readiness and the relation of kindergarten experience to the child's readiness for reading. It seemed wise to learn more about meeting the emotional needs of children whose school adjustment might be affected by lack of kindergarten experience. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to investigate these two phases of reading readiness: the emotional factors and the influence of kindergarten as a part of the child's background of experience. The relation of these factors to procedures in the first grade classroom will be emphasized. / Typescript. / "August, 1955." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Sarah Lou Hammond, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 70-75).
