[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't the damage already done by pre-k? That's Hart and Ridley study concluded that the lack of early vocabulary in children was never made up later on. Haven't they studied Head Start and found that the initial gains wear off when students hit the wall halfway through ES? They have little background knowledge of anything so once they learn how to read, they can't comprehend what they are reading. [/quote] This. I work with impoverished 0-5 year olds and the “achievement gap” shows up much, much earlier than pre-k, sadly.[/quote] About 9 months before birth I'd estimate.[/quote]
