Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extension of an earlier longitudinal study of thriving, average, or non-thriving kindergarten children, this study examined the intellectual, academic, social, self-directive, and temperamental characteristics of children from kindergarten to grade four. Fifty-four of the children were perceived by their junior or senior kindergarten teachers as "thriving in terms of your goals"; 64 were perceived as "making average progress"; and 50 as "not as yet thriving" in kindergarten. Forty-six children were in a junior kindergarten-grade 1-grade 3 cohort, while the remaining 112 children were in a senior kindergarten-grade 2-grade 4 cohort. Data obtained included test data on language, memory, and academic achievement; and teacher-rated data on self-direction, resistance to distraction, social abilities, resistance to frustration, and risk-taking. Results indicated that differences between children perceived in kindergarten as thriving, average, or not thriving persisted through grade four for language, academic achievement, and teacher ratings of self-direction, resistance to distraction, and risk-taking. Achievement differences were greater for the senior-kindergarten-grade 4 cohort, but still significant for the junior-kindergarten-grade 3 cohort. Rating differences were of the same magnitude for both cohorts. Results of data analysis also concerned children who were perceived by grade three and four teachers to have changed in thrive status versus those who had not. Children "shifting" between average and thriving status or vice versa had corresponding changes in achievement tests and teacher ratings. (Author/HOD)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if pre-kindergarten attendance resulted in increased school readiness for kindergarten students; and if prekindergarten attendance resulted in higher student achievement for third grade students. Specifically, the data for this research was drawn from the pre-kindergarten program of a mid-size district in Houston, Texas. In terms of methodology, quantitative techniques and analysis were used to illustrate data collected from the research sample. A two-sided t-test was run on each group to model the relationship between pre-kindergarten attendance and school readiness as determined by TPRI and social screening; and, the relationship between pre-kindergarten attendance and academic success as measured by third grade TAKS. Furthermore, a multiple linear regression test was performed on each group to asses if gender and ethnicity further impacted the results of school readiness and academic success. The findings of this research showed that attending pre-kindergarten impacted school readiness in two areas and showed no impact in one area of the TPRI. The areas that showed a positive correlation were beginning letter sound identification and listening comprehension. The area that revealed no impact was blending onset rhymes and phonemes. Another notable finding is that students who had attended pre-kindergarten showed no significant edge in socialization as identified by the University of Texas Social Screener Survey. As for longer term success, pre-kindergarten attendance did not have a significant impact on third grade TAKS scores in neither reading nor math.

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.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the influence of social-emotional competence (SEC) and various other student- and school-level variables on the academic achievement of kindergarteners. Data were collected on a nationally representative cohort of kindergarteners as part of the United States Department of Education's Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS-K: 2011) beginning in fall 2010 (n = 18,174). As part of the ECLS-K: 2011, students were assessed via a wide range of sources of information about the children's development, early learning, and school progress. The obtained data were analyzed via Hierarchical Linear Modeling to investigate the influence of student- and teacher-level factors on student achievement.The study found the following: 1) that there was a significant amount of variability in children's mathematics and reading achievement in spring of kindergarten that is explained by school-level variables, as opposed to student-level variables; 2) that children's membership in particular racial groups, gender categories, and socioeconomic statuses all resulted in significant within-school mathematics and reading achievement gaps in spring of kindergarten, controlling for various student background characteristics; 3) that various school-level variables significantly contributed to models predicting children's spring kindergarten mathematics and reading achievement; and 4) children's poverty interacted with their school membership to affect spring kindergarten mathematics and reading achievement.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study examined the influence of attending Head Start or Title I prekindergarten on student academic progress in reading and math as well as acquisition of appropriate work habits and conduct. The study tracked the rate of academic progress on two separate groups of Head Start attendees and two separate groups of Title I prekindergarten students as they progressed from kindergarten through grade three. In kindergarten through second grade, report card scores in reading, math, work habits, and conduct of students receiving an academic pre-kindergarten experience were compared to those of students with no academic pre-kindergarten experience. All children studied were from families with similar socioeconomic status. In third grade, the pre-test and post-test scores on the North Carolina End-of-Grade Test administered in reading and math in grade three were compared. A Hierarchical Linear Model measured the initial status and growth rate within and between students and a repeated measures analysis of variance was used to analyze the End-of-Grade Test data. The students having a Head Start or Title I prekindergarten experience demonstrated significant, modest gains over no pre-kindergarten experience children in acquisition of reading and math skills in kindergarten and first grade. There were no significant differences in reading and math performance among all four groups in second and third grades. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the child's acquisition of work habits or appropriate conduct skills at any grade level.
