| Opplysninger | The Big Lift™ (Big Lift), a preschool–third-grade collective impact initiative in San Mateo County, California, aims to boost children's reading proficiency through four coordinated pillars: High-Quality Preschool, Family Engagement, Summer Learning, and Attendance. This report—part of a multiphase evaluation—is the fourth in a series of studies focused on the early learning outcomes of children in several kindergarten classes who received Big Lift services as part of the High-Quality Preschool and Summer Learning pillars. In this report, the authors examine the experiences and third-grade outcomes of the 2016–2017 kindergarten class, the first set of children who participated in the initiative to reach third grade. Specifically, they analyze two third-grade measures: attendance and English language reclassification status. In addition, the authors look across all the kindergarten classes for which they have data and explore the relationship between children's participation in Big Lift services prior to kindergarten and their kindergarten readiness.
