Book The Effects of Kindergarten Through Second Grade Reading Instruction and Intervention on Third Grade Reading Achievement

Download or read book The Effects of Kindergarten Through Second Grade Reading Instruction and Intervention on Third Grade Reading Achievement written by Teresia Chevalier-Metzger and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State and local assessment data from 117 students in one school in the California Central Valley were examined to determine how much participation in a kindergarten through second grade multitiered reading intervention model contributed to third grade reading achievement, over and above the demographic factors of ethnicity, socioeconomic status, parent education level, English language level in kindergarten, gender, and age at kindergarten entry. State and local assessment data were also examined to determine how much participation in a kindergarten through second grade multitiered reading intervention model contributed to third grade reading achievement, over and above the kindergarten reading readiness factors of letter sounds, oral blending, oral segmenting, consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) word reading, and high frequency word (HFW) reading. Multiple regression analyses with ordered sets of predictors were conducted to identify the relationship of the factors to students' third grade end-of-year reading performance. Additionally, multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the contributions of three intervention--Systematic Instruction in Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, and Sight Words (SIPPS); Reads Naturally; and teacher-created interventions--over and above demographic factors on end-of-intervention assessments. Kindergarten reading readiness and demographic factors significantly contributed to third grade reading achievement, while the effects of participation in a multitiered intervention model were not significant.

Book excerpt: For many parents, a child’s completion of kindergarten is a milestone that represents the foundation of formal education. Over many decades, theorists and researchers have attempted to identify the best circumstances that maximize early learning. Therefore, the age at which children enter kindergarten has been a topic of considerable debate. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a relatively late kindergarten entry age cutoff date of December 1 on the development of children’s reading skills during their first year of schooling. Additionally, the relationship between student age and gender on literacy achievement was investigated. Archival data was used for the current study, which represented scores from a standardized literacy assessment. Two-way multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) were conducted to test for significant differences between group means as well as an interaction effect between age and gender. Results revealed that age had a statistically significant impact on initial literacy performance, but not growth over the course of the school year. There was no evidence of a statistically significant interaction between kindergarten entry age and gender, nor did gender have a statistically significant impact on literacy achievement. Overall, findings demonstrate that while school entry age did put younger kindergarten students at an initial academic disadvantage, it dissipated over time as they demonstrated typical skill growth.

Book The Impact of Changes in Kindergarten Entrance Age Policies on Children s Academic Achievement and the Child Care Needs of Families

Download or read book The Impact of Changes in Kindergarten Entrance Age Policies on Children s Academic Achievement and the Child Care Needs of Families written by Ashlesha Datar and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past two decades have seen a rising trend in the minimum entrance age for kindergarten in the United States, motivated by findings from studies finding that older entrants perform better than younger entrants on a wide range of outcomes. Delaying kindergarten entrance, however, imposes additional childcare and time costs on families whose children are forced to stay out of school for another year. This dissertation provides new evidence on the causal effect of delaying kindergarten entrance on children's academic achievement in elementary school. The author finds that, compared to other educational interventions, a one-year delay in kindergarten entrance has a positive and significant effect on children's test scores both when they begin school and at the end of two years in school. Although the initial entrance-age effect is smaller among poor and disabled children compared with that for non-poor and non-disabled children. delaying entrance has a sizable effect on test score gains over time for poor and disabled children but a negligible effect on gains for non-poor and non-disabled children. The author also developed an economic model for parents' kindergarten entrance age decisions and examined the effect of socioeconomic factors on these decisions. Higher childcare prices and maternal wages significantly lower the age at which parents desire to send their child to kindergarten.

Book Relationships Between Kindergarten Entrance Age and Attendance Rates in Kindergarten Through Second Grade

Download or read book Relationships Between Kindergarten Entrance Age and Attendance Rates in Kindergarten Through Second Grade written by Julie A. McDonald and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education research over the last 50 years has found a significant relationship between academic achievement and kindergarten entrance age, with kindergarten students who enter school at the earliest ages tending to have lower academic achievement than their counterparts. Other studies have found that student achievement depends on factors such as class attendance rates and socioeconomic factors. Indeed, one issue consistently identified in education research as having a strong correlation to student achievement is student attendance, which makes intuitive sense because students must be present and engaged in school to learn. National research confirms that not only do attendance rates negatively impact student learning in the affected school year, but that students who are chronically absent as early as kindergarten have lower achievement in later grades as well. Since there can be a wide age span for students entering kindergarten, there is reason to also examine the relationship between kindergarten age and attendance from the first year of K- 12 education. To date, however, little research was found regarding the relationship between kindergarten attendance rates as defined by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and kindergarten entrance age. This may be due in part to the variations in the age of compulsory school attendance, which spans four years across the 50 states and the District of Columbia (National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), 2018). The present quantitative study employed a quantitative, ex post facto design approach using existing student attendance database information from a mid-sized, Midwestern, urban school district to determine if there was a relationship between the two variables of children’s age at kindergarten entrance and their attendance rate in each of grades Kindergarten through second grade. There were a total of 1,301 students covered within the data examined. Multiple linear regression and logistic regression analyses using Intellectus Statistics software determined that, when controlling for socioeconomic status, there was no relationship between the students’ kindergarten entrance age and their K-2 attendance rates. There was, however, a relationship between socioeconomic status and attendance rates in kindergarten and first grade, irrespective of age of kindergarten entrance. There was, however, a relationship between socioeconomic status and attendance rates in kindergarten and first grade, irrespective of age of kindergarten entrance. This finding has important implications for local districts in that it is important to study their attendance rates, which consistent with the national and state-level studies, indicate that attendance rates are concerning as early as kindergarten.
