Transitioning to Kindergarten

Catalyst Chicago issue cover, published Jun 2011

CPS has no policy requiring full-day kindergarten, no cohesive literacy curriculum and no comprehensive plan to transition children from preschool to kindergarten. Some children have a rich experience, while others get a bare-bones start.

This issue on kindergarten, the critical year in which students make the transition to formal schooling, was made possible by a grant from the McCormick Foundation. For more about the foundation, go to www.mccormickfoundation.org.

About Chicago Reporter

Founded on the heels of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, The Chicago Reporter confronts racial and economic inequality, using the power of investigative journalism. Our mission is national but grounded in Chicago, one of the most segregated cities in the nation and a bellwether for urban policies.
