Examined the association of work-related skills--such as listening skills, cooperation,
self-control--to academic outcomes at kindergarten entry and end of second grade.
Found that work-related skills predicted variance in academic outcomes at both
times, after kindergarten academic score and background variables were controlled.
Children with poor work-related
skills differed from overall sample on several
variables. (Author/KB)
