Abstract

Some students begin to develop literacy skills before they begin formal schooling, while others do not. Several studies discuss the inconsistency of those who practice early literacy development as opposed to those who do not. In fact, this creates an inequitable schooling experience from the day students begin kindergarten. This senior capstone examines the effects of early literacy development on the academic success of elementary school children through the use literature review and provides recommendation on how schools could provide equitable services to all students.
