The realities
of child development defy efforts to categorize children's abilities
and attainments within the conventional graded structure. Pupil
readiness varies, and children progress in all subjects at different
rates. The development of multiage or cross-age groupings, sometimes
coordinated with youngsters in tutoring programs, has produced promising
outcomes, especially in the affective and social skills areas. (26
