The Status and Nature of Full-Day Kindergarten in Delaware- Phase II: The Impact of Full-Day Kindergarten on Kindergarten Work Sampling and Grades 2 & 3 DSTP Scores

Abstract

This is a report of phase II of a study of the status, nature, and impact of full-day kindergarten (FDK) in Delaware public school districts. Phase I of this study examined the status and nature of FDK in Delaware (Fifield and Shepperson, 2004). This study examines the impact of FDK versus half-day kindergarten (HDK) on students’ performance on Delaware Student Testing Program (DSTP) assessments.
