Abstract: Getting Kids Ready for School in Rural America - English
URL: http://www.ael.org/rel/rural/abstract/perroncel.htm

The family, school, and community each have a role in addressing the first of eight national education goals, which states that "all children in America will start school ready to learn." In rural areas, where resources are more limited and separated by greater geographic distances, the family, school, and community must collaborate to nurture two types of readiness in young children--readiness to learn (which is the natural birthright of healthy children) and readiness for school (which must be nurtured over time by caring adults).
