i need help with my irp and its due this friday! im omly up to my literature review n im stuggling already.. my topic is do children benefit from attending pre school before going to primary school... someone please help!!!!
so the main question is 'What are the benefits of pre-school'
of course the internet would be the best source of information for this. and i found a few websites u may or may not have already found.
Here is some newspaper article about it. Just remember to quote the date, writer, heading when u use information from this. Newspaper articles are always good to use just so it proves to the teacher how much research u actually have done even though it may be very little. but still getting information from different sources is always a good thing. well usually. i dont see how it isnt. anyway here is the website:
http://www.post-gazette.com/localnews/20020329eci6.asp
and heres a fairly good quote to use:
The longer children participated in the Early Childhood Initiative, the more they developed and improved the skills for early school success.
and u could also mention the statistics shown and quote this guy
"This is very useful data showing impressive results," said Ron Grimm, superintendent of the Woodland Hills School District, an initiative partner.
and here is a good website with some statistics and a graph to impress ur teacher
http://www.preschoolcalifornia.org/benefits_of_preschool/
and use the quote on the left of the page by some professor in the University of Chicago.
“As a society, we cannot afford to postpone investing in children until they become adults, nor can we wait until they reach school age – a time when it may be too late to intervene.”
and even include the picture if u want. but doesnt look very attractive though. u may even lose marks for it lol
and this website seems very promising.

and i guess u could use this info as well if u have room
http://parenting.ivillage.com/tp/tplearning/0,,3z6q,00.html
but u should really take a poll for primary research on whether there is enough benefits to make preschool worth it or something like. u could even make one here on boredofstudies. or u could just survey a bunch of ppl from school.
anyway hope it helped
