While there remains little doubt that the "founding" preschool programs in America--the High/Scope Perry Program, the Chicago Child-Parent Centers, and the Abecedarian Project--had a positive academic and social impact on the students they served, such claims are difficult to substantiate for students being served in the Virginia Preschool Initiative Program. This study was designed to investigate the educational impact of the state-funded preschool program on the academic achievement of at-risk students who attended school from 1999-2002. These students' third- and fifth-grade Standards of Learning tests, in the subject areas of mathematics and reading, were compared using T-tests and ANOVA calculations to determine if there existed any statistically significant differences in academic achievement. Results from the investigation did not find any significant differences in achievement between those students who attended preschool and those who did not. In fact, reading scores were higher for those female students who did not attend preschool.

This descriptive, quantitative study examined the effects of participation in a 1-year Early Start Preschool Program for 4-year-olds in a state that requires annual testing at the end of select grades. This study has evaluated the effectiveness of the program, this research examined whether it has positively affected the results of end-of-year tests. The predictor variable for this study was participation in the Early Start preschool program. For this study, the only 2 groups assessed were children who participated in Early Start and children who did not participate in the program. The criterion variables or dependent variables in this study included the state end-of-year tests for the 3rd grade in English and math from 2003 to 2005. Each group of student scores was compared using a 2 tailed t-test, and the measure of effect determined using Cohen's d statistic. The results of this study determined that this program does not positively affect achievement in English and mathematics through 3rd grade. These findings could be used to modify the program to better meet the needs of children and justifies advocacy for children through social justice by providing conclusive evidence that an academically-focused preschool program does not meet the academic needs of young children and their families.

New educational standards are asking students to master content-area concepts and increasingly complex texts in earlier grades. This practitioner-friendly text provides instructional materials, sample dialogues, and assessment tools to facilitate academic language use in PreK-3 classrooms. The authors describe the word, sentence, and discourse levels of academic language, while encouraging teachers and students to consider purpose, participants, discipline, and context. Strategies are provided to help readers adapt language for a variety of academic purposes across mathematics, science, play, mealtimes, and ELA instruction. The text includes discussion questions, reproducible activities, planning materials, assessment tools, and handouts to facilitate smooth implementation into classroom practice. From Words to Wisdom will empower teachers to build bridges to academic success for all young learners. Book Features: Expands teachers' understanding of academic language beyond vocabulary to include syntax and discourse-level features.
