The reading achievement during early childhood has been a persistent source of debate for many areas of early education. This study aims to examine young childrens reading achievement in early years in the United States and also complement previous research on childrens reading achievement in the early years by using the latent growth modeling (LGM). The LGM is flexible to assess different degrees of reading growth trajectories across kindergarten through the first grade with explanatory variables inherent to children (e.g., gender and parents education) and schools (e.g., private and/or public schools). Results from the study show substantial variation in the initial status of and rates of change of reading achievement across kindergarten to the first grade due to explanatory variables. The children and school characteristics selected for this study explained a moderate to large percentage of variance in growth trajectories.
Abstract
The reading achievement during early childhood has been a persistent source of debate for many areas of early education.

The LGM is flexible to assess different degrees of reading growth trajectories across kindergarten through the first grade with explanatory variables inherent to children (e.g., gender and parents education) and schools (e.g., private and/or public schools). Results from the study show substantial variation in the initial status of and rates of change of reading achievement across kindergarten to the first grade due to explanatory variables. The children and school characteristics selected for this study explained a moderate to large percentage of variance in growth trajectories.
