Explanation: FY 2004 and 2005 data are from the last 2-year grantees. The baseline for early language was established with a sample of FY 2004 2-year grantee data. FY 2004 target for literacy was to establish a baseline for the 2-year grantees. Since data were not collected, the FY 2005 target is to establish baseline for 2-year grantees. FY 2006 is the beginning of the first 3-year cohort. Early language skills will be measured using the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test - III (PPVT-III); literacy skills will be measured using the PALS Pre-K, Upper Case Alphabet Knowledge subtask. The FY 2006 targets are to establish baselines for the first group of 3-year grantees. The FY 2007 targets are to maintain the baseline for 3-year grantees.
