Abstract/ Summary

A child's perceived readiness for school is locally based and varies in accordance with community culture, resources and expectations, according to a University of Maine researcher, who says preschool screening should be an instructional starting point for a teacher, not a placement tool to label children or keep them out of kindergarten.
