Abstract
A supplementary reader was made in order to improve learning effects in nursery education. This reader aimed to teach high school girls to respect personality of the children, to understand the progress of mankind, and to control health of motherhood. For two groups, A and B, lessons were given with and without this supplementary reader. Comparisons were made by measuring attitude values by the RIKERT method. The teaching started from April 1978. By July 1978, the attitude value was considerably higher for Group A than for Group B. When measured in January 1979, however, the attitude value for Group A decreased below that of July 1978, while that for Group B remained unchanged. It is concluded that the use of this supplementary reader had an effect on learning.
