The Parents as Teachers Program: Its impact on school readiness and later school achievement:
Schools, communities and families all share the common goal of wanting children to succeed in school. Being a competent reader by third grade is one key indicator of children’s academic success. Children who do well in the early grades of elementary school are more likely to graduate from high school and to go on to be successful in life.
How can we increase the likelihood that children will do well in elementary school? Research shows that school readiness predicts later school achievement. Therefore, we should provide positive experiences for children, starting at birth or earlier, that maximize school readiness.
