Many issues stand in front of the bottom of the bottom half of at risk children. Many at risk age 3-6 children will need to be given the gift of ready to read skills by effective citizens.

I am proud to introduce Pre-K Now.

Please join me in celebrating the creation of a new, dynamic organization working with state advocates to advance high quality pre-kindergarten for all three and four year olds in this country. Created by The Pew Charitable Trusts and other funders, and formerly a part of The Trust for Early Education, this new entity will continue with the same mission and the same energetic staff. Only our name, location, and web site are new. We hope you will visit our new web site for the latest new updates and information about Pre-K Now:
http://www.preknowinfocenter.org/ct/_1LiNep1Hm_a/preknowhomepage Pre-K Now will remain dedicated to:
supporting state-based campaigns for high quality pre-k for all 3 and 4 year olds;
positively impacting state and federal legislation; and
raising public awareness about the need for pre-kindergarten for all children.
Pre-K Now will be a trusted resource for policy information and a strong partner for pre-k advocacy. I look forward to our continued work together. Libby Doggett, Ph.D.DirectorPre-K Now

Pre-K Now acknowledges the ongoing support of The Pew Charitable Trusts, The Schumann Fund for New Jersey, The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and The Joyce Foundation. Their commitment to early education makes our work possible and together we will improve outcomes for children.

Anonymous said...: Governors: Expand preschool programs
A bipartisan report from the National Governors Association recommends states expand their access to pre-kindergarten programs, as well as develop standards and create oversight agencies for early-childhood education efforts. The association praised North Carolina's Smart Start program, which has expanded access to preschool education for poor youngsters since 1993. The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.)

In an effort to focus on value creation we could register that 50% of the children start kindergarten not ready to read, count, and understand positive direction. The investment activity to deliver the most at-risk with theses skills requires a Samaritan’s focus on 100% of the age 0-6 children, new delivery, more rigor and commitment. Not Giving early reading skills to the most at-risk to start kindergarten is the first public measure of the gap in value created. The cost is less than .002 of published manufacturing shipments and retail sales. How small! Effective citizens wonder why it is not already fixed, because of the ROI. Fact is these skills are critical to the economics, education, emotions and ethics of the USA. If these skills were delivered, the neighborhood would be critically more valuable and cost less to grow and maintain. Christian thought and giving have been excluded from too many public schools; but are still important to preschool and K-6 proficiency.
