Why Is This Important?
Children who meet school readiness benchmarks are more likely to read proficiently by third grade, experience general school success, and graduate on schedule from high school. Just as there is an achievement gap in school performance, there is a school readiness gap that separates disadvantaged children from their more affluent peers. As early as 18 months, low-income children begin to fall behind in vocabulary development and other skills critical for school success.
