The focus is on the early childhood years because the achievement patterns of racial/ethnic groups are largely established in the period from birth through the end of the third grade (ages eight or nine for most children). The emphasis is on reading, owing to the importance of having strong reading skills, especially in reading comprehension, by the start of the fourth grade. At that point, students need solid reading comprehension skills to master most areas of the curriculum.
