School Readiness

My research topic is on school readiness. We are hearing so much in today's soceity about the standards that are being placed on children in shcool today. What was once taught in the the first grade chidlren are having to learn in kindergarten. I want to find out if child's life influences their preparation for formal learning, how parents and family influence on school readiness and how family life is important. I want to learn ways to better help families focus on school readiness because preparing students for school today has to be a team effort. It can not be all done by the teacher alone. I also hope to find through research if placing a child in a preschool program at an early age supplies furtheer reinforcement in a child's general school readiness. I want to find out if school readiness prepares children at a young age to face the learning experiecne that they face in schools today. Children are expected to learn quicker and learn things at an early grade compared to what we were taught when we were in school. I hope to share some information with my classmates and if any of you have any information on school readiness you would like to share I hope to hear from you. Good luck to everyone.
