Public preschool boosts academic skills in kindergarten, but little is known about whether that boost lasts to third grade because many studies stop directly assessing children after kindergarten. The current study tests for sustained associations between preschool attendance and an array of repeatedly measured, directly assessed language and math…

Lavigne, John V.; Hopkins, Joyce; Gouze, Karen R.; Russo, Jaclyn – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2023
Background: Early academic achievement is critical to school readiness and later academic success. Consequently, multi-domain models are needed to identify risk factors and pathways by which they influence early academic achievement. Objective: The aim was to advance the development of a multi-domain model of risk factors associated with early…

Ramazan, Onur; Dai, Shenghai; Danielson, Robert William; Hao, Tao; Ardasheva, Yuliya – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2022
Reading self-concept plays a significant role in academic achievement. Considering increasing numbers of English learners (ELs) in the United States, there is an urgent need to investigate self-perceptions of ELs in comparison to those of native English speakers (NES). We applied Elastic Net analysis (ENET), a machine learning approach, to PISA…

Platas, Linda M.; Perry, Lindsey; Piper, Benjamin; Sitabkhan, Yasmin; Ketterlin-Geller, Leanne – Research in Comparative and International Education, 2022
Using a longitudinal data set, this paper examines to what extent school-entry (N = 553; mean age 6.32 years) early mathematics and literacy skills predict students' later achievement in a lower-middle-income country, Kenya. Controlling for socioeconomic status, intervention status, rural versus urban settings and parental literacy, the findings…

Macdonald, Kelly T.; Cirino, Paul T.; Miciak, Jeremy; Grills, Amie E. – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2021
Cognitive predictors of reading are well known, but less is understood about the roles of "noncognitive" factors, including emotional variables such as anxiety. While "math" anxiety has been a focus of study, its analogue in the reading literature is understudied. We assessed struggling fourth and fifth graders (n = 272) on…
