Inequality in pre-school education and school readiness

Description:

A study examining links between center or school-based preschool attendance and factors that contribute to school readiness and success, including reading and math skills, and suggests that school success gaps between children from high to middle and middle to low income families may be narrowed or eliminated by sending all children to preschool using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study- Kindergarten Class of 1998-99 (ECLS-K)
