Impact

The Big Lift is making a significant difference for children and families throughout the region. Five years of rigorous, independent evaluation by the RAND Corporation show Big Lift children are more ready for kindergarten than other students and maintain their reading levels over the summer. At third grade, Big Lift children have English Language reclassification rates twice as high as children who did not attend preschool. In addition, emerging data show programs implementing a specific set of targeted language and literacy practices in preschool are boosting kindergarten readiness rates by an additional 20 percentage points above and beyond already existing preschool benefits.
