and behavioral problems, and to live in stressful 
home environments. 
(6) By age 3, children in low-income homes will 
have heard one-third as many words as children in 
middle-income and high-income homes. 
(7) Studies show that children who attend high- 
quality early childhood education programs are less 
likely to repeat grades, less likely to be assigned to 
special education, and more likely to perform better 
on standardized tests, experience reduced rates of 
teenage pregnancy, and graduate from high school. 
Additionally, such children are less likely to engage 
in criminal behavior and more likely to obtain em-
ployment at higher wages. Economically disadvan-
taged children gain even larger benefits from such 
high-quality programs. 
(8) Compared with children in kindergarten 
from low-income families, children in kindergarten 
from high-income families live in homes with 3 times 
the number of books and such children are 4 times 
as likely to have a computer at home. Children from 
high-income families also watch far less television 
and are more likely to visit museums or libraries. 
(9) By the time children from low-income fami-
lies enter kindergarten, they are already 3 months
