Quality Matters in PreK Instruction for Reading by Fourth Grade
Abstract
Current national and state-level initiatives emphasize expanding access to high-quality prekindergarten (pre-k) as an early but critical strategy to ensure students’ ability to read by the time they enter fourth grade. These programs help children gain early reading skills, develop an interest in books, larger vocabularies, and letter recognition, learn to sound out letters and words, plus learn how to handle a book, and read from left to right. Yet in 2014, only 34% of Philadelphia children ages three and four were enrolled in high-quality pre-k programs.
