WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE KIDS START SCHOOL

The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (ECLS-B) is the first nationally representative study that assesses early mental and physical development, the quality of early care and education settings and the contributions of parents to the lives of children in the years leading up to school. The report, which provides information on children when they were about four, finds that children with two-parent families scored higher than children with single-parent families on the overall literacy scale score, a pattern repeated in the results of letter recognition and phonological awareness. In addition, while 65 percent of children demonstrated proficiency in numbers and shapes, only 40 percent of children with lower socioeconomic status (SES) demonstrated proficiency, whereas 87 percent of children in higher SES families were able to do so. The study is intended to encourage analysis of the data by sophisticated methods, as people are cautioned not to draw causal inferences based on the results presented.
