Research Shows Pre-K Counts Helped Boost Achievement In Pennsylvania

The Bucks County (PA) Courier Times (10/28, Canelli) reports that Stephen Bagnato, professor of pediatrics and psychology at the University of Pittsburgh recently "presented results from a study of the Pre-K Counts program in 21 school districts across" Pennsylvania. According to the Courier Times, "The research...looked at more than 10,000 children ages 3 to 6 across the state, including 223 kids in Bucks County. Out of those 223 students, 146 at-risk children exceeded expected competencies in language, reading, math, writing and behavior after transitioning from the program to kindergarten."
