Description:
This report is intended to provide a snapshot of the children in the ECLS-K:2011 cohort who were in kindergarten for the first time in the 2010-11 school year and advanced to first grade in the following year. Information is presented on selected child and family characteristics, such as poverty status and parental education (table 1), obtained when the children were in kindergarten. Information is also provided on the children's achievement in reading (table 2), math (table 3), and science (table 4) in the fall and spring of first grade, both overall and by the selected kindergarten-year child and family characteristics. For brevity, the Selected Findings focus on achievement in the spring of the children's first-grade year. (author abstract)
