"teaching to the test" depends on the instrument they are using - I cannot find it in the study. We used LAP and ELAP (8 domain assessments) because we started much earlier (6 weeks). It is structured so you do teach the test but when the test says "stack 3 blocks on top of each other" (obvious early LAP skill), you are pretty much going to teach the test. In my experience (90s research program), this is basically in line with what Harvard found about Head Start. Starting earlier has the effect of finding learning defects (not sure the current term) earlier like hearing problems and allows time for correction during the critical 0-3 years. Point 2 rings true, but I would doubt your #3. |
