The aim of this study is to investigate the academic and socioemotional trajectories from Kindergarten to Fifth Grade for children with different language abilities at Kindergarten entry. Specifically, this study aims to assess the extent to which developmental paces differ for children who only speak English at home when starting school and children who speak both English and a non-English language at home upon school entry.
