Abstract
Fifty-five poverty-area children at the completion of a full-year pre-kindergarten program were compared with forty - seven same-aged children from a similar socio-economic area who had no pre-kindergarten experience. The children with preschooling scored significantly higher on the Stanford-Binet (P equals .001) and on the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (P equals .05). Virtually all of this difference, however, was accounted for by the girls with pre-kindergarten schooling who scored significantly higher (P equals .001) than boys with the same schooling. These boys scored only slightly higher than those with no schooling and at about the same level as girls with no school experience.Keywords
