Abstract: To determine the relative effectiveness of different
methods of preschool educational intervention for disadvantaged '
children, comparisons were made of five programs whose levels of
structure ranged from the traditional nursery school to a highly
structured preschoolo Subjects were 79 4-year-olds representing a
wide range of ability levels~ Intervention effects were evaluated at
the end of the preschool year and also, at the end of the
kindergarten year. Follow-up data were collected at the end of first
grade for three of the programso preliminary results were
differential and encouraging for the more structured programs. The
ameliorative preschool provided a framework for the subsequent
investigation of related variables: effects of initiating the program
with 3-year-old, low IQ children, and the feasibility of using
paraprofessional staff as teachers. Included in this report are
studies undertaken to provide instructional programs for children
under 3 years and to find techniques to train mothers in home
intervt2ntion. (MS)
