Analyzed data for more than 1,000 students in 62 classes in England to focus on the progress made during the first 3 years of schooling. Considered the adequacy of the baseline assessment in predicting later progress and the progress students made. Overall, results show that effective early provision has a positive impact on academic achievement in the early school years. (SLD)
