This evaluation study examined changes in school readiness among 35 children who participated during the 2002-2003 fiscal year in two programs: (1) Project Family Read, an educational and parent education program operating during the school year for families of children not enrolled in regulated child care in Granville County, North Carolina; and (2) Kinder Camp, a more focused summer readiness program for children from Project Family Read who entered kindergarten in August. Both programs are supported through Smart Start funds. The measure of school readiness was the Cognitive/Language Profile of the Early Screening Profiles. Pretests were given soon after children's entry into Project Family Read, and posttests were given during the final week of Kinder Camp. Children's scores were converted into age equivalents (AE) for comparison with the children's chronological ages (CA). Results indicated that the average pretest AE was approximately 55 months, almost equivalent to the average CA at the time. The average posttest AE was approximately 70 months, in comparison to the average CA of about 63 months. Every child made a gain in AE score on the Cognitive/Language Profile. The results were consistent with those obtained in two previous years in which the average gain in AE scores was approximately double the change in CA between the children's entrance to Project Family Read and the end of Kinder Camp. The findings reinforce the conclusion that Project Family Read and Kinder Camp are effective in improving the readiness of children for kindergarten. (KB)
