School Readiness
Topeka, Kan.
WHAT: Free all-day preschool program in
public housing
QUICK LOOK: The program is a joint project
of the Topeka Housing Authority, the Topeka
school district, and United Way. It began
in 2012-13 as a half-day program, but
expanded to full-day because sustained
participation worked better for the students.
It now operates in four classrooms, in two
housing-authority residences. Each classroom
is headed by a state-certified preschool
teacher, along with an assistant teacher
and paraprofessionals, and uses a districtprovided
curriculum. A summer program
was added in 2014. When the children enroll
in elementary school, the district provides
reading interventions and wraparound
supports. United Way also provides out-ofschool
tutoring in reading and mathematics,
and programs to ensure children get access
to services such as meals and eye exams.
SCOPE: 50 3- and 4-year-olds who live in the
complex
IMPACT: Between spring and fall 2014, all pupils
in the program showed significant growth
on 12 early-literacy and -math skills, such as
recognizing uppercase and lowercase letters,
counting orally, and recognizing numbers.
+
Students and counselors unwind
at a YMCA summer literacy
program in the Quad Cities area,
which encompasses Moline,
East Moline, and Rock Island,
Ill., and Davenport and
Bettendorf, Iowa.
Summer Learning
Quad Cities, Illinois and Iowa
WHAT: Summer enrichment program
QUICK LOOK: Supported by United Way and the Doris and Victor Day Foundation,
the YMCA offers a six-week summer literacy program for low-income K-6 students
who attend day camps in several school districts in the Quad Cities area. Certified
teachers, some of whom are paid with federal Title I funds from local school
districts, weave literacy activities into the day's recreational schedule. Last summer,
children from 11 sites were tracked; five of the sites implemented the full program,
and six others served as control groups.
SCOPE: 295 students received the full enrichment program in 2014, its third summer
IMPACT: Students in the enrichment program gained 9.3 percentage points on
a multiple-choice literacy test given at the start and the end of the program,
compared with gains of 5 points or less at campsites without the program.
