Dear colleagues,

The Spring 2005 issue of the Future of Children, titled School Readiness:
Closing Racial and Ethnic Gaps, focuses on children's lives before they
begin school in an effort to understand how to close racial and ethnic
gaps in educational outcomes. The volume is the first joint publication of
the Future of Children by the Brookings Institution and the Woodrow Wilson
School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. The
journal articles discuss the following eight topics as they relate to
school readiness: (1) testing of children at school entry, (2) family
socioeconomic resources, (3) genetics, (4) neuroscience perspectives, (5)
low birthweight, (6) health disparities, (7) parenting, and (8) early
childhood care and education. The executive summary and full text are
available at
