The effectiveness of specific visual perceptual training on readiness scores was studied. Three different groups of 27 randomly selected first grade black pupils participated in this investigation over a 9-week period. The experimental group received specific visual perceptual training drawn from the Frostig Developmental Program in Visual…

Approximately 100 first-grade pupils participated in a study of the effects of art-learning strategies on perceptual development and reading achievement. Pupils were assigned to one of four conditions: a sequential program of art-learning experiences, the Frostig program for the development of visual perception, a combination of these two…
