What children know when they enter kindergarten about things like letters of the alphabet can predict reading scores all the way through 10th grade.

We feel really good about our CATS scores and the progress we've made, ... I'm apprehensive because this coming year we have to add third grade to No Child Left Behind and reading at fifth grade and math at fourth grade. We're trying to find ways to keep the scores increasing.

Research into school success shows a direct link to the preparation that young children receive form the time they are born until they enter kindergarten. Young children who have the opportunity to engage in stimulating cognitive activities and nurturing social-emotional relationships are already ahead of their peers when they enter kindergarten.

All kids don't walk and talk at the same time. So to expect them all at age 5 when they enter kindergarten to all know their letters, numbers, and be able to write them is really unfair to them.

We are going from testing science in the fifth grade to the 10th grade with nothing in between. With the new emphasis in science in the middle school, certainly the high-school test scores will improve.

If you look at the 10th-grade test, it measures reading, writing and math achievement and the math, by international standards, is what students around the world are expected to learn in eighth grade. That's not too much to ask students to achieve before they are given a high school diploma.

In Germany, children attend kindergarten from age 3 to 6, so it's a big deal to go to first grade.

Many schools really want children reading in kindergarten when that wasn't done in our day.

We found that reading development, in particular, is affected in girls, though the mathematical skills of food-insecure children entering kindergarten also tend to develop significantly more slowly than other children's.

We have several reading programs going on at the same time so we limited this one to kindergarten, first and second grade. This is a special honor. When we were selected, the principals of the five schools in the program were invited to an FC Dallas game, and we got to go onto the soccer field and be introduced.

We have two schools with high numbers of disadvantages students. Now, the state mandates a 22-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio in the classroom, but what we do right now is have a 19-to-1 student ratio from pre-kindergarten to third grade at those (economically disadvantaged) campuses. The third grade is when they start TAKS and reading. We want to make sure we have those kids prepared for their future. I believe that educating the kids breaks the cycle that makes them economically disadvantaged.

Studies show that not all children are ready with the basic skills like recognizing numbers and letters . . . when they reach kindergarten, which puts them at a huge disadvantage. This is intended to bridge the gap.

Looking for life on Mars is such a big task that we really had to start by building a knowledge base. We started exploring Mars with Viking by asking some tough questions, which led to more complicated questions and more exploration. We have to think of it like school. We start in kindergarten learning the alphabet and build from there. In kindergarten, we don't jump right into calculus.

We know that children need help to read, and the best time to start them reading is very young. We believe that when children see adults from all walks of life and from throughout the community reading to them, that is another opportunity for children to see the importance of reading. It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying.

W (double U) has, of all the letters in our alphabet, the only cumbrous name, the names of the others being monosyllabic. This advantage of the Roman alphabet over the Grecian is the more valued after audibly spelling out some simple Greek word, like
_epixoriambikos_. Still, it is now thought by the learned that other agencies than the difference of the two alphabets may have been concerned in the decline of "the glory that was Greece" and the rise of "the grandeur that was Rome." There can be no doubt, however, that by simplifying the name of W (calling it "wow," for example) our civilization could be, if not promoted, at least better endured.
