- [00:00:00.954][STUDENTS] Four, five six...
- [00:00:03.702][NARRATOR] The early years in a child's life are critical.
- [00:00:06.603]They set the stage for success in school, especially for children who are at risk due to poverty or other issues.
- [00:00:13.742]Helen Raikes wants to help.
- [00:00:16.072]I'm very concerned about us developing the types of intervention programs that can help children
- [00:00:22.052]who are falling behind during those early years.
- [00:00:25.311]Dr. Raikes develops and evaluates solutions, interventions that support parents and teachers,
- [00:00:31.306]school programs that improve literacy and help children succeed.
- [00:00:36.209][RAIKES] Where children are in terms of their school readiness is extremely predictive of how quickly they
- [00:00:41.921]acquire literacy skills.
- [00:00:43.576]It's very predictive then of their school success as they go on.
- [00:00:48.294]And so as a result, communities and we as researchers and academicians and practitioners are very excited
- [00:00:56.826]about trying to help children catch up before they actually get to school entry.
- [00:01:02.502][NARRATOR] Graduate students who work with Dr. Raikes play an active role in the classroom and in research.
- [00:01:08.936]Helen is such a dynamic individual.
- [00:01:11.410]Someone that you want to emulate, somebody that raises the bar high.
- [00:01:15.460]We learn a lot just by watching her.
- [00:01:18.190]Dr. Raikes says students benefit from a strong sense of community.
- [00:01:22.167]The students help each other.
- [00:01:25.504]We work with the students, we work shoulder to shoulder with them and provide the guidance as we go forward.
