Human Capital Development before Age Five. NBER Working Paper No. 15827. (2010, unknown): “Several other recent studies use a similar regression discontinuity design including Hustedt et al (2008) and Wong et al. (2008) who examine state pre-K programs in five states.”
The Long-Term Effects of Universal Preschool in Boston (2021, unknown): “…programs using observational research designs (Garces, Thomas, and Currie 2002; Gormley et al. 2005; Ludwig and Miller 2007; Fitzpatrick 2008; Wong et al. 2008; Deming 2009; Carneiro and Ginja 2014; Thompson 2018; Johnson and Jackson 2019; De Haan and Leuven 2020; Pages et al. 2020; Bailey,…”
Impacts of a prekindergarten program on children's mathematics, language, literacy, executive function, and emotional skills. (2013, methodology): “Although less efficient than when models are underspecified, overspecification yields less biased estimates (Trochim, 1984) and has been used as a strategy in other early childhood RD designs (Gormley et al., 2005; Wong et al., 2008).”
Early mathematics assessment: validation of the short form of a prekindergarten and kindergarten mathematics measure (2012, methodology): “Children’s receptive vocabulary was measured using the PPVT-III (Dunn & Dunn, 1997), a nationally normed measure that has been widely used in diverse samples of young children (Love et al., 2005; US Department of Health & Human Services, 2010; Wong et al., 2008).”
Quantifying Variation in Head Start Effects on Young Children's Cognitive and Socio-Emotional Skills Using Data from the National Head Start Impact Study. (2015, background): “It is a nationally normed measure that has been used widely for diverse samples of young children (e.g., Weiland and Yoshikawa, 2013; Wong et al., 2008).”
Modern Regression Discontinuity Analysis (2012, unknown): “This process is used frequently in education (Cook et al, 2009 ; Gill, Lockwood, Martorell, Setodji, & Booker, 2008 ; Jacob & Lefgren, 2004 ; Robinson & Reardon, 2009 ; Weinbaum & Weiss, 2009 ).”
The Impacts of Expanding Access to High-Quality Preschool Education (2013, methodology): “The RD study by Wong et al. (2008) also uncovers impacts of the preschool programs in Michigan, New Jersey, South Carolina, and West Virginia on print awareness at the end of the preschool year.”
Promoting the development of preschool children’s emergent literacy skills: a randomized evaluation of a literacy-focused curriculum and two professional development models (2011, background): “Department of Health and Human Services, 2005; Wong, Cook, Barnett, & Jung, 2008 ), questions remain regarding how to structure preschool learning environments so that children at risk of significant reading difficulties receive maximum benefit.”
