Fyfe, Emily R.; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany; Farran, Dale C. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
State-mandated tests have taken center stage for assessing student learning and for holding teachers and students accountable for achieving adequate progress. What types of early knowledge predict performance on these tests, especially among low-income children who are at risk for poor performance? We report on a longitudinal study of 519…
