Paragraph 6, Section D says that “Missouri” “included 380 families who were about to have their first child” and this programme lasted in 4 years. During these 4 years, the programme offered training and support to the parents and medical check-ups for the children. So this programme was designed to improve the pre-schooler’s educational development. Pre-school education : children’s education before 3 – the age of going to school. In paragraph 4, Section C, the writer states that “Headstart” “took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help the children of poorer families succeed in school.”

In paragraph 10, the writer argues that: “Most important of all, the traditional measures of “risk”, such as parent’s age and education, or whether they were a single parent, bore little or no relationship to the measures of achievement and language development. Children in the programme performed equally well regardless of socio-economic disadvantages.” Children of young, uneducated, single parents are examples of children who have socio-economic disadvantages.
