Jones, Ithel; Gullo, Dominic F.; Burton-Maxwell, Christine; Stoiber, Karen
Early Child Development and Care, v146 p1-11 Jul 1998
Examined the effects of early educational experiences on the academic achievement and social skills of 91 inner-city first graders. Found that, after controlling for first-grade teachers' instructional practices and beliefs, children with prekindergarten experience had higher scores in mathematics and language and higher social skills than children without such experience. Effects varied depending on students' transition experiences. (Author/KB)
