The impact of kindergarten learning-related skills on academic trajectories at the end of elementary school
TLDR
This article investigated the relation of kindergarten learning-related skills to reading and math trajectories in 538 children between kindergarten and sixth grade, and examined how children with poor learning related skills fared throughout elementary school on reading and Math.Citations

A structured observation of behavioral self-regulation and its contribution to kindergarten outcomes.
TL;DR: Evidence for domain specificity emerged, in which gains in behavioral regulation predicted gains in mathematics but not in language and literacy over the kindergarten year (p < .01) after site, child gender, and other background variables were controlled.
