Teachers at Orlando Day Nursery in Florida have always evaluated how
well their 4-year-old prekindergartners—most of them poor and
African-American—could recognize letters, isolate sounds in words,
understand stories read to them, and show other hallmarks of early
literacy.
Just as important, though, have been the teachers' formal observations of social and emotional development: Could children follow instructions, for example, and make friends and cooperate in a group? (Lesli A. Maxwell at Education Week)
