Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #37108 Early Childhood Disadvantage
Instructions
Disadvantage  in  early  childhood  poses  multiple  risks  to  children's  development.  Factors  such  as  low  socioeconomic  status,  long-term  unemployment  of  parents,  and  social  isolation  may  have  lasting    on  a  child's  chance  of  reaching  their  full  potential.  Whilst  not  eliminating  disadvantage,  preschool  education  can  help  to    the  effects  of  these  risk  factors  and  can  provide  children  with  a  better  start  to  school.  However,  some  of  these  factors  may  also  be    to  preschool  attendance  for  groups  that  would  benefit  most  from  preschool  education.  In  Australia,  the  early  years  of  children's  education  is  the  responsibility  of  many  government  and  non-government  agencies  and  it  occurs  in  a  range  of  settings.  Preschool  is  aimed  at  children  around  four  years  of  age  to    them  for  compulsory  schooling  from  the  age  of  six  years.  In  most  states  and  territories,  children  can  start  full-time  schooling  at  five  years  of  age,  when  they  enrol  in  a  kindergarten  or  preparatory  year.  In  2001,  just  over  half  of  five-year  olds  (57%)  were  at  school  with  about  a  third  (34%)  attending  preschool.  While  in  some  states  and  territories  children  can    preschool  before  they  turn  four,  participation  rates  for  three-year  olds  are  much  lower  than  four-year  olds  (24%  compared  with  56%  for  four-year  olds  in  2001).  The  preschool  participation  rate  of  four-year  olds  in  2001  (56%)  was  similar  to  the  rate  in  1991  (58%).
