Abstract	The 1987-88 Saginaw (Michigan) Prekindergarten Program, funded under the Education Consolidation Improvement Act Chapter 1, served 479 children at 13 elementary schools, and attained ten (62.5 percent) of its 16 achievement objectives. A list of the objectives is included in Appendix A. The program is designed to prepare inner-city 4-year-olds from diverse backgrounds with the skills needed for kindergarten. Parent involvement is an important program component. A screening test is used to select participants. The Prekindergarten Saginaw Objective Reference Test (PK-Sort) was used to measure achievement on 13 of the objectives measured. Findings include the following: (1) attainment of six of the nine objectives in the cognitive skills area; (2) attainment of one of the four objectives in the psychomotor skills area; and (3) overall attainment of seven (53.8 percent) of the 13 objectives measured. Results also show the attainment of all three of the remaining objectives that deal specifically with the Parents as Partners program component. Review of this evaluation and a separate process evaluation indicate areas for improvement in the 1988-89 program. Statistical data are included on six tables. The appendices also include a comparison of the percent of students at post-testing attaining mastery on PK-Sort objectives by school building for 1987-88, and a summary of the number and percent of prekindergarten families attaining objectives of the Parents as Partners component by school building for 1987-88.
