Exploring the Educational Game Landscape through Focused Studies and Ecological Interventions

The Early Learning Programs and Policies (Early Learning) topic supports research on the improvement of school readiness skills (e.g., pre-reading, language, vocabulary, early science and mathematics knowledge, social skills) of prekindergarten children (i.e., three- to five-year-olds). The long-term outcome of this research will be an array of tools and strategies (e.g., assessments, instructional approaches, programs, and policies) that have been documented to be effective for improving school readiness skills for prekindergarten (three- to five-year-old) children in center-based prekindergarten settings.
