Effectiveness of Kindergarten Scheduling.
McConnell, Beverly B.; Tesch, Stephanie
Educational Leadership, v44 n3 p48-51 Nov 1986
Discusses the national trend toward full-day kindergarten scheduling and a 2-year experiment involving alternate-day and half-day programs in Pasco, Washington. Early findings show no significant differences in children's achievement, classroom study habits, or social skills. Poor and minority children benefit from increased conversational opportunities during full-day sessions. (MLH)
