[单项选择]It might seem odd to think of pre-kindergarten toddlers as students in need of teachers, but the latest research suggests that some form of instruction may help children to better prepare for school.
Nina Chien, a post doctoral researcher in pediatrics at the University of California San Diego found that children who were left to engage in free play in pre-kindergarten centers showed the least improvement in reading and math skills after one year compared with the children who benefited from some form of teacher instruction. The free play groups were provided with educational toys designed to stimulate their creative and cognitive processes, but they still learned up to two fewer alphabet letters and three fewer numbers than those who worked with teachers. Overall, when the children reached kindergarten, their teachers rated them up to 96% lower on language and literacy skills compared to their classmates.
Chien based her study on 701 state-funded pre-kindergarten programs in
A. free play in pre-kindergarten centers is essential to kids’ growth
B. the introduction of teachers’ instruction seemed inconvincible
C. free-play based centers are the main training form in pre-kindergartens
D. teachers’ assistance could enhance kids’ study abilities
