What’s Past Is Prologue: Relations Between Early Mathematics Knowledge and High School Achievement
TL;DR: It is found that preschool mathematics ability predicts mathematics achievement through age 15, even after accounting for early reading, cognitive skills, and family and child characteristics.

Predicting children's mathematical performance in grade one by early numeracy
Pirjo Aunio,Markku Niemivirta +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a longitudinal study examined how children's early numeracy assessed in kindergarten predicts their mathematical performance in the first grade, after controlling for the effects of age, gender, and parents' education.

The influence of early science experience in kindergarten on children's immediate and later science achievement: Evidence from the early childhood longitudinal study†
TL;DR: This paper explored the impacts of selected early science experiences in kindergarten (frequency and duration of teachers' teaching of science, availability of sand/water table and science areas, and children's participation in cooking and science equipment activities) on children's science achievement in kindergarten and third grade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Academic Content, Student Learning, and the Persistence of Preschool Effects:
TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between academic content coverage in kindergarten and student achievement and found that all children benefit from exposure to advanced content in reading and mathematics and that students do not benefit from basic content coverage.

Cutoff criteria for fit indexes in covariance structure analysis : Conventional criteria versus new alternatives
Li-tze Hu,Peter M. Bentler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the adequacy of the conventional cutoff criteria and several new alternatives for various fit indexes used to evaluate model fit in practice were examined, and the results suggest that, for the ML method, a cutoff value close to.95 for TLI, BL89, CFI, RNI, and G...

Handbook of Child Psychology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the importance of biology for human development and the role of the human brain in the development of human cognition and behavior, and propose a model of human development based on the Bioecological Model of Human Development.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of the results shows that early math skills have the greatest predictive power, followed by reading and then attention skills, while measures of socioemotional behaviors were generally insignificant predictors of later academic performance.
