Our state (Wisconsin) encourages districts to offer 4 year old kindergarten. My community and many offer it. It is a half day while regular kindergarten is full day. By law, parents start students in school at the age of 6. They can start first grade or kindergarten then.

Based on the data we analyzed from our state tests and MAP scores, we need to improve our students ability to analyze and extend their understanding of text. As a staff, our next step is to research best practices to help us determine the latest research that will help us address these needs of our students. I know my favorite authors and websites, but I was wondering if you all could give me suggestions that I could give to my colleagues to help them focus their research study. Websites, journal articles, books would be appreciated. I trust the judgement of this group. Thank you.
