                                        Research shows the early years of education are critical. Students in high-quality pre-K classrooms develop skills needed to be successful throughout life.

                                        Literacy is the foundation of a student’s educational career. From pre-K to 3rd grade, students learn to read. By 4th grade, students read to learn.

                                        We must identify the factors impacting students at key transition points in education so we can co-design a system that serves all students.
