Reading Knowledge and Skills

The first 2 years of the ECLS–K followed a cohort of students from their entry into kindergarten in fall 1998 to their completion of 1st grade in spring 2000. Thus, the findings from this study address key questions about the reading knowledge and skills of these children when they began kindergarten, their reading gains across kindergarten and 1st grade, and the specific factors that are related to children's reading knowledge and skills.
