For example, one study conducted in the Chicago Public Schools shows that preschool attendance is important for several reasons: (1) It sets up patterns for long - term school attendance; (2) children who regularly
attend preschool perform better on
kindergarten entry assessments tests; and (3)
regular attendance enhances social - emotional development.
Counselors talk to parents of the transitional
kindergarten students who might not think
attending school every day is important about research that shows
regular attendance in the younger grades increases the likelihood that students will read at grade level and graduate high school on time.
