More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This paper reviews the literature on the effects of preschool attendance on academic success in elementary school and reports on a study designed to investigate the effect of preschool education on the academic achievement of at-risk, minority-group kindergarten children. The Test of Basic Experiences (TOBE) was administered at the beginning of the school year to 30 kindergartners who had attended preschool and a control group of 30 who had not. A comparison of the test results found a statistically significant difference between the achievement of the children who had attended preschool and the children who had not.
