News » 'Brain to Five' speaker calls for early ed

Mar. 19, 2010
A scientist at UW-Madison says reaching children early can help close the achievement gap.

Assistant professor Katherine Magnuson of the Waisman Center spoke at Appleton North high school last night, as part of the "Brain to Five" series.

She says poverty can affect children starting at a very young age, but there are opportunities to help them before they go to kindergarten.

Magnuson says some areas have programs in place where nurses or other experts help new parents by coming to their home to teach parenting skills.
