This study explores reading fluency among elementary school students considering language level and family income(low SES). Forty eight students from 1st to 3rd grades participated in two paragraph reading tasks. Half of the children were from low income family and half of the children had low lexical knowledge. Reading fluency as in the number of correctly read syllables per minute, the total error frequency and error types were used to compare group differences. There were significant differences in the number of correctly read syllables per minute between two income groups and two language groups. There was a significant difference between low income group and non-low income group in total number of errors only when children's lexical knowledge were low. There were no group differences in error types of repetition and omission. Substitution and insertion error seemed to reflect the total error pattern. These results imply the importance of early screening and early involvement for children with low lexical knowledge from low income family. Monitoring and early intervention will support these children's reading development.

This study compared children's daily activities In the preschools of middle-and lower-income communities. 22 children, evenly divided by community and children's gender, were observed for 3 hours on 5 consecutive days. The observers followed the target child, gathering data during 30-second "windows" every 4 1/2 minutes. A total of 750 observations were used in the analyses. The findings show the variation in children's activities as a function of community differences. In the case of academic activities, children of middle-income community were more exposed to and engaged in play with academic objects more than children of the of low-income community. A reverse tendency, however, was found in academic lessons. Children of low-income community were more exposed to work than their counterparts. Children of middle-income community were engaged in child-adult conversation more than those of low-income community. In addition, children of the middle-income community initiated their involvement in play and conversation more than their counterparts, though no difference was found in children's initiation of activities.

본 연구의 목적은 저소득가정 아동과 일반가정 아동간에 학교준비도가 차이가 있는지를 살펴보는 것이다. 특히 저소득가정 아동은 취약계층을 위한 교육지원사업인 드림스타트 참여 유무에 따라 학교준비도에 차이가 나타나는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 그리고 아동의 연령과 성별에 따라 학교준비도에 차이가 나타나는지를 분석하였다. 연구대상은 만 4세, 만 5세 아동 184명을 대상으로 하여 학교준비도를 조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 기술통계, t검증, 일원변량분석, 이원변량분석, Scheff$\acute{e} $ 검증을 실시하여 분석하였다. 자료분석 결과, 학교준비도는 아동의 연령과 성별에 따른 상호작용효과가 나타났으며, 일반가정 아동의 학교준비도 수준이 저소득가정 아동보다 높게 나타났다. 그러나 저소득가정 아동 중에서 드림스타트 참여유무에 따라서는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과를 통해 경제적으로 어려움이 있는 가정의 취학 전 아동이 학교준비도를 잘 갖출 수 있도록 적극적인 관심과 지원의 중요성을 강조하였다.
