Predicting Children's Competence in the Early School Years: A Meta-Analytic Review:
TLDR
In this article, a meta-analysis of cross-time relations of academic/cognitive and social/behavioral assessments from preschool to second grade is presented. But no quantitative estimates of effect sizes exist for the relations between preschool or kindergarten academic/Cognitive and Social/behaviorAL assessments and early school outcomes.Abstract:
School readiness screenings are prevalent throughout the United States. Although readiness encompasses a multitude of components, readiness assessments generally focus on measuring and predicting children's pre-academic skills and behaviors and are often the basis for placement and programming decisions. However, no quantitative estimates of effect sizes exist for the relations between preschool or kindergarten academic/cognitive and social/behavioral assessments and early school outcomes. This review presents the results of a meta-analysis of cross-time relations of academic/cognitive and social/behavioral assessments from preschool to second grade. Results from 70 longitudinal studies that reported correlations between academic/cognitive and social/behavioral measures administered in preschool or kindergarten and similar measures administered in first and second grade were included in the analysis. Academic/cognitive assessments predicting similar outcomes showed moderate effect sizes across both time s...read more

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.

The contribution of children's self-regulation and classroom quality to children's adaptive behaviors in the kindergarten classroom.
TL;DR: Classroom quality, particularly teachers' effective classroom management, was linked to children's greater behavioral and cognitive self-control, children's higher behavioral engagement, and less time spent off-task in the classroom, while classroom quality did not moderate the relation between children's self-regulation upon school entry and children's adaptive classroom behaviors in kindergarten.
