Abstract
The goal of this study was to ascertain the perceptions held by prekindergarten and general education kindergarten teachers in a northwest Florida school district toward early literacy skills perceived as critical for successful participation in a general education kindergarten setting for children with mild disabilities. The researcherdeveloped survey, Kindergarten Early Literacy Skills Survey, was administered to 21 prekindergarten and 28 kindergarten teachers. Results indicated a statistically significant difference between prekindergarten and kindergarten teachers’ perceptions. However, when forced to rank the top 5 critical skills needed for success, both groups of teachers chose the same 5 skills, but in a different order. Results of this dissertation demonstrate the need for teachers to discuss their values related to the transition process, as well as alignment of the prekindergarten and kindergarten curriculums.
