TOPICS
Children Achieving: Closing the Gap by Starting Early Experts may be uncertain about many issues, but there is widespread agreement that children who reach kindergarten with certain characteristics – an interest in books, a fondness for conversation, a curiosity about the world – are more likely to thrive in school and lead productive, happy lives. There’s been an explosion of knowledge over the last few years about how young children develop, namely how early experiences set the stage for success in learning to read and write. Highlighting the most recent trends and practices in early literacy learning, professor Susan Neuman shares how we can ensure that all children achieve successfully by “starting early.”
Educating the Other America In this presentation, Susan Neuman focuses on the significant disparities in children’s achievement by income group. She argues that we need more targeted interventions that focus on three qualities:
- Providing additional print resources to children
- Focusing greater attention to oral language and vocabulary in our programs
- Building relationships with parents
