Southard, Nancy A.; May, Deborah C.
Psychology in the Schools, v33 n2 p132-42 Apr 1996
The benefits of pre-first programs and grade retentions are not consistently supported in the research literature. Study investigates the short- and long-term effects of pre-first programs on students' (n=66) academic achievement in reading and mathematics. No significant differences were found in six of the eight analyses conducted, indicating few, if any, positive effects from the pre-first program. (FC)
