Ready to Learn Matters

Children's behavior when they first enter school can affect their progress throughout the elementary years, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic background, concludes a study reported in Developmental Psychology (September 2010). 

In the study, researchers from three universities tracked learning gains reported for the Kindergarten cohort in the US Department of Education's Early Childhood Longitudinal Study.  They found that kindergartners with a positive learning approach — as defined by persistence, emotional regulation, attentiveness, organization, and flexibility — made more progress in mathematics and reading through the 5th grade.
