           Closing the Achievement Gap Through Expanded Access to Quality Early Education in Grades PK-3 

            By Justin King

            A significant, albeit still insufficient, expansion of access to publicly supported early education programs for children ages 3 to 5 has occurred over the last decade. This trend bodes well for children at risk of academic failure, but is endangered by uneven, halting, and at times inadequate attention to program quality in grades prekindergarten through three.

            This brief, published by the New America Foundation, summarizes research on the benefits of PK and PK-3. It also makes specific recommendations on what the federal government can do to promote PK-3.
