The purpose of this study is to plan and informally try
out a series of language activities which will enrich the
speaking and listening vocabularies of first graders with no
kindergarten experience. The construction of a simple background
inventory will be necessary to find the child's previous
experiences. A check-list will record growth and
reactions. It is hoped that the integrated language activities
will develop habits of attention and create within each
child a lasting desire to seek information concerning the
world about him.
Many of the children in the school used in this study
have below average economic and social backgrounds. In many
instances both parents must work leaving the children without
parental supervision. More than half of the parents are poor
with less than high school educational backgrounds -- their
occupations being mainly domestic work.
