Ansari, Arya; Pianta, Robert C.; Whittaker, Jessica V.; Vitiello, Virginia E.; Ruzek, Erik A. – American Educational Research Journal, 2019
This investigation considered the short-term benefits of early childhood education participation at age 3 for 1,213 children from low-income families living in a large and linguistically diverse county. Although no benefits emerged for executive functioning, children who participated in formal early childhood programs at the age of 3 entered…

Duncan, Greg J.; Jenkins, Jade M.; Watts, Tyler W.; Magnuson, Katherine; Clements, Douglas; Sarama, Julie; Wolfe, Christopher B.; Spitler, Mary Elaine – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2015
A substantial literature documents the benefits of early childhood education and formal preschool experiences on children's school readiness, with low-income and otherwise disadvantaged children benefitting the most from these programs. However, these academic benefits often fade out as children age, and most disappear by the end of kindergarten…

Hudson, Kesha N.; Ballou, Haley M.; Willoughby, Michael T. – Developmental Science, 2021
Previous studies have documented that individual differences in fine and gross motor skills are associated with executive function (EF) skills. This study used an experimental design to test whether participating in cognitively challenging motor skills activities was causally related to improvements in motor skills and two key indicators of school…

Li-Grining, Christine Pajunar; Stockdale, Laura; Cunningham, Annelise; Bradley, Kelly; Papadakis, Jaclyn L.; Flores-Lamb, Valerie; Marcus, Maria; Radulescu, Maria – Early Education and Development, 2023
Research Findings: Greater self-regulation has been identified as a protective factor for low-income children's academic achievement. However, we know less about the long-term protective nature of specific aspects of self-regulation. Data were drawn from predominantly African American and Latino children in low-income communities in Boston,…

Jenkins, Jade Marcus; Watts, Tyler W.; Magnuson, Katherine; Gershoff, Elizabeth T.; Clements, Douglas H.; Sarama, Julie; Duncan, Greg J. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2018
Prior research shows that short-term effects from preschool may disappear, but little research has considered which environmental conditions might sustain academic advantages from preschool into elementary school. Using secondary data from two preschool experiments, we investigate whether features of elementary schools, particularly advanced…

Ansari, Arya; Pianta, Robert – Journal of Educational Research, 2019
Data from 1,407 preschoolers were used to examine the implications of classroom age composition for the early learning and development of 4-year-olds in classrooms with 3- and 5-year-olds also in attendance. Results suggest that a greater number of younger classmates did not detract from 4-year-olds' language development, literacy performance, or…

Anthony, Jason L.; Williams, Jeffrey M.; Zhang, Zhoe; Landry, Susan H.; Dunkelberger, Martha J. – Early Education and Development, 2014
Research Findings: In an effort toward developing a comprehensive, effective, scalable, and sustainable early childhood education program for at-risk populations, we conducted an experimental evaluation of the value added by 2 family involvement programs to the Texas Early Education Model (TEEM). A total of 91 preschool classrooms that served…

Pianta, Robert; Hamre, Bridget; Downer, Jason; Burchinal, Margaret; Williford, Amanda; LoCasale-Crouch, Jennifer; Howes, Carollee; La Paro, Karen; Scott-Little, Catherine – Early Education and Development, 2017
Research Findings: Effects on children's school readiness were evaluated for 2 interventions focused on improving teacher-student interactions (coursework, coaching) implemented sequentially across 2 years. Teachers from public prekindergarten programs in 10 locations were assigned randomly to treatment or control conditions in each year.…

Becker, Derek R.; McClelland, Megan M.; Loprinzi, Paul; Trost, Stewart G. – Early Education and Development, 2014
Research Findings: The present study investigated whether active play during recess was associated with self-regulation and academic achievement in a prekindergarten sample. A total of 51 children in classes containing approximately half Head Start children were assessed on self-regulation, active play, and early academic achievement. Path…

Botts, Dawn C.; Losardo, Angela S.; Tillery, Christina Y.; Werts, Margaret G. – Journal of Special Education, 2014
This replication study focused on the effectiveness of two different intervention approaches, activity-based intervention and embedded direct instruction, on the acquisition, generalization, and maintenance of phonological awareness, a key area of emergent literacy, by preschool children with language delays. Five male preschool participants with…

Coughlin, Judy; Montague, Marjorie – Journal of Special Education, 2011
This study investigated the effects of cognitive strategy instruction on the mathematical problem solving of three adolescents with spina bifida. Conditions of the multiple-baseline across-individuals design included baseline, two levels of treatment, posttesting, and maintenance. Treatment 1 focused on one-step math problems, and Treatment 2…
