Justice and colleagues conclude that regardless of disability, classrooms in which most children have poor language skills are not ideal. They suggest that since typically developing kids continue to improve their language skills even when they have some less-skilled classmates, administrators should aim for a diversity of skill level in the classroom.

Math in the Early Years - 1 views

The earliest years of a child's education-from birth through 3rd grade-set the foundation upon which future learning is built. In recent years, state policymakers have emphasized the need to improve children's reading skills early on because a lack in this essential skill is a strong predictor of low student performance and increased high school dropout rates. By 2012, a total of 32 states plus the District of Columbia had policies in statute aimed at improving 3rd-grade literacy, with 14 of those states requiring retention of students on the basis of reading proficiency. Yet, while the emphasis on reading proficiency is critical, research shows that the development of mathematics skills early on may be an even greater predictor of later school success. Early knowledge of math not only predicts later success in math, but also predicts later reading achievement even better than early reading skills.
Once Upon a Time: Parent Child Dialoge and Storybook Reading in the Electronic Era - 0 views

Early experiences with books predict later reading success, and an interactive shared reading style called ''dialogic reading'' is especially beneficial to emergent literacy. Electronic console (EC) books, CD-rom books, and e-book apps are designed to teach preschoolers preliteracy skills, but research has yet to systematically explore the impact of these types of books on established predictors of positive literacy outcomes.

Preschoolers With Special Needs Benefit From Peers' Strong Language Skills - Associatio... - 0 views

Six hundred seventy preschoolers participated in the study. Just over half of them had a clinically diagnosed disability, including autism spectrum disorder, language impairment, or Down syndrome.
-
The researchers found that preschoolers with special needs were more influenced by their peers’ language skills than were children without disabilities. Children with disabilities whose classmates had weak language skills showed the strongest effects – by spring, their language skills lagged far behind those of typically developing children.
