Journal ArticleDOI
School readiness and later achievement: a French Canadian replication and extension.
TL;DR: The extension model confirmed prospectively associations between kindergarten cognitive, attention, fine motor, and physical aggression characteristics and later achievement and classroom engagement by the end of 2nd grade and extended this school readiness model by including motor skills as an additional element in the prediction equation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective associations between early childhood television exposure and academic, psychosocial, and physical well-being by middle childhood.
TL;DR: The long-term risks associated with higher levels of early exposure may chart developmental pathways toward unhealthy dispositions in adolescence and a population-level understanding of such risks remains essential for promoting child development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do preschool executive function skills explain the school readiness gap between advantaged and disadvantaged children
TL;DR: The authors examined the extent to which executive functions (EFs) as opposed to other cognitive skills, account for socioeconomically based disparities in school readiness and found that EFs only mediated associations between type of preschool and math.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toddler working memory skills predict kindergarten school readiness
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how toddler working memory skills predict subsequent achievement and classroom engagement in kindergarten and proposed a robust, easily accessible, and cost effective assessment method of early childhood executive function for developing early childhood interventions that improve school readiness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early childhood television viewing and kindergarten entry readiness.
TL;DR: Increases in total time watching television at 29 mo were associated with subsequent decreases in vocabulary and math skills, classroom engagement, and gross motor locomotion scores, suggesting the need for better parental awareness and compliance with existing viewing recommendations put forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
