Set for success: building a strong foundation for school readiness based on the social-emotional development of young children
The report indicates that before children can learn to read, they must learn basic social and emotional skills such as the ability to tolerate frustration and take direction. Set for Success recommends: 1) viewing social-emotional development and academic achievement as a continuum and not as separate entities, 2) broadening this understanding to parents, teachers, caregivers, and policy makers, and 3) providing training in this concept.
