Slavin, Robert E.; And Others
Educational Leadership, v50 n4 p10-18 Dec-Jan 1992-93
Summarizes conclusions from a review on the effects of programs intended to prevent early school failure. Examines the effects of birth-to-three programs, preschool, kindergarten, grade retention, class size and instructional aides, nongraded primary programs, one-to-one tutoring, and others.
