Recent Research Reveals Early Education Benefits

New scientific studies document siginificant growth in the language, literacy and mathematical skills of children who attend state-supported pre-kindergaten programs, according to the National Institute for Early Research (NIEER) at Rutgers.  

Vocabulary scores are a strong indicator of a child's later cognitive abilities and reading success, the Institute commented, adding that the literacy awarenedd study showed that children in the state-funded programs knew more letters, letter-sound associations and were more familiar with words and books concepts.   A complete report is available at the NIEER web site, nieer.org.
