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.
