Assessed the
reading and mathematics abilities of kindergartners and first graders
in the fall and spring of the school year. Found that younger first
graders made as much progress over the year as older first graders
and more than older kindergartners. Findings demonstrated that entrance
age was not a good predictor of learning or academic risk. (BC)
