Abstract	The Michigan School Readiness Program (MSRP) is a state-funded prekindergarten program in Saginaw for 4-year-olds from the inner city with the goal of providing an environment that develops school readiness skills. The seven program components are: cognitive, psychomotor, affective, parent participation/education, curriculum, staff development, and community collaboration/participation. An annual evaluation was conducted for the 1998-99 school year. A total of 306 students attended the program at 1 of 10 sites. The Prekindergarten Saginaw Objective Reference Test was used to assess student achievement on a posttest-only basis. The Affective Rating Scale assessed affective objectives on a pre-post basis. Findings indicate that MSRP students attained all the cognitive and affective objectives and three of the four psychomotor objectives. All objectives related to parent participation through classroom participation, parent meetings, and completion of home activities with the children were met successfully. The Early Childhood Education Curriculum Committee met four times and discussed curriculum issues, new kindergarten reading materials, all day kindergarten, and selection of kindergarten reading materials. The program supervisor participated on county level committees. All staff attended at least 75 percent of the inservice sessions offered. It was concluded that the MSRP program in its tenth year of operation was very successful, have achieved 25 of 26 objectives. It was recommended that reasons for relatively poor achievement on one of the psychomotor objectives be examined and that building differences in program effectiveness also be examined. (Eight appendices include a description of the program, data collection instruments, and data by school building.) (KB)
