This interactive research brief was produced by SEDL's National Center for Family and Community Connections with Schools. The Center links people with research-based information and resources that they can use to effectively connect schools, families, and communities. It emphasizes connections that directly impact student achievement in reading and mathematics, as well as connections that contribute to the students' overall success in school and in life. The Center reviews emerging findings and research to develop an online resources, arrange conferences, and provides training and networking across the REL system to link research findings to practice.

In this module, you will learn research-based strategies for helping children transition into the early grades and develop a strong foundation for academic success.

The module is the third in a series of three modules and is available in English and Spanish from the SEDL Learning Center.
