Examining The Preschool to First-Grade Literacy and Language Outcomes of Black Children Experiencing a High-Quality Early Childhood Program
This study examined the literacy trajectories of 185 Head Start-eligible Black children from preschool to first grade enrolled in a high-quality early learning program physically connected to an elementary school where they attended kindergarten and first grade. Social emotional, language, and literacy skills were assessed in the fall and spring of the school year in preschool and prekindergarten (PreK) and the fall only in kindergarten and first grade. Children made literacy and language gains in early childhood that were maintained into first grade. Although children in the connected early learning/elementary experience performed above peers on language and literacy skills, only differences in language skills reached significance. Advantages in kindergarten were gone by first grade as comparison children evidenced improvement of language skills that narrowed the performance gap. Findings point to the importance of creating clear academic pathways for young learners that prioritize instructional opportunities designed to maintain positive learning trajectories.
期刊介绍:
The Elementary School Journal has served researchers, teacher educators, and practitioners in the elementary and middle school education for over one hundred years. ESJ publishes peer-reviewed articles dealing with both education theory and research and their implications for teaching practice. In addition, ESJ presents articles that relate the latest research in child development, cognitive psychology, and sociology to school learning and teaching. ESJ prefers to publish original studies that contain data about school and classroom processes in elementary or middle schools while occasionally publishing integrative research reviews and in-depth conceptual analyses of schooling.
