Red Light, Purple Light: Intervention brief: Preparing young children for school

Description:

Developing self-regulation at an early age is important for children’s success in school and in life. Self-regulation involves the ability to remember instructions, shift attention from one thing to another, and reduce the intensity and frequency of impulsive emotions and behaviors. Red Light, Purple Light is a preschool program that includes music and movement games aimed at fostering self-regulation skills in young children. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) reviews existing research on educational interventions to identify evidence-based programs and practices. This WWC intervention report summarizes the available evidence on the effects of Red Light, Purple Light on student outcomes. (author abstract)
