A total of 1,718 pre-K students had valid PPVT-III/TVIP pre- and posttest scores, and an analysis showed that 77% were in the average range at post-test in their language of instruction. An analysis of 2007 Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) reading and mathematics data for a cohort of students who attended pre-K in the 2002-2003 school year indicates that those students who attended pre-K, especially English-language low-income students, had TAKS reading and mathematics passing rates that were higher than district passing rates for low-income students.
