School readiness among children of immigrants in the US: Evidence from a large national birth cohort study
چکیده انگلیسی

Using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (n ≈ 6800), we examined the factors explaining variation in school readiness in a large and nationally representative sample of children in immigrant and non-immigrant families. In OLS regression models with rich controls to account for selection, we found that language background was a key factor in explaining children of immigrants' expressive language and early reading at kindergarten, whereas both socioeconomic status and language background helped explain their performance in math.


► We provide a profile of children's school readiness in immigrant families.
► FB Chinese and other Asians outperformed their NB White peers in Reading and Math.
► FB Mexicans had the lowest starting school readiness performance.
► Language background was a key factor in explaining expressive language and reading.
► Both socioeconomic status and language background helped explain outcome in math.
