Description
Summary:A study of early identification ratings gathered on six cohorts of kindergarten children (N = 14,793) over the school years 1978-79 to 1983-84 revealed substantial relationships between these ratings and students' sex, socioeconomic status, and month of birth. The relationships of early identification ratings in the area of language to these three variables were stronger than to similar ratings in the area of mathematics. The impact of sex, socioeconomic status, and month of birth were additive, with no significant interaction effects. Month of birth had the most effect on early identification ratings: specifically, two or three times the effects of sex or socioeconomic status. (RH)
