A study published in the July/August issue of Child Development found that over time, children from low-income families who were enrolled in afterschool programs were reading at a higher level than their peers in any other kinds of afterschool care (being in the care of relatives, spending time alone, etc).
The abstract of the report, titled “An Ecological Analysis of After-School Program Participation on the Development of Academic Performance and Motivational Attributes for Disadvantaged Children,” is online at http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/toc/cdev/76/4.
