Abstract
Children living in poverty frequently enter kindergarten lacking critical cognitive, academic,
and social-emotional skills, and this gap predictably widens throughout K-12. Several
researchers have developed intervention programs intended to close the academic gap by
building foundational curricular skills. These interventions may not be the most efficacious
methods to address student needs. Given recent efforts to establish early childhood
education standards and the implicit push to close the persistent school readiness and achievement gap.
