This study surveyed pre-service teachers to determine their reading maturity using The Reading Maturity Survey (Thomas, 2001). Results indicate that pre-service teachers self-report high levels of confidence in their reading maturity with the exception of two areas that may relate to developing skills in critical reflection and transformational thinking. A continuing study of reading maturity in pre-service teachers focuses on correlating reading maturity with other measurements to predict teacher readiness as part of program evaluation for elementary licensure majors.
