LAT: Literacy gap between Latino and white toddlers starts early, study shows

From the Los Angeles Times:

tino toddlers whose language comprehension is roughly similar to white peers at 9 months old fall significantly behind by the time they are 2, according to a study released Thursday.

The UC Berkeley study found that four-fifths of the nation’s Mexican American toddlers lagged three to five months behind whites in preliteracy skills, oral language and familiarity with print materials.

Gee, I wonder if Latinos in America have average IQs about 90 as compared to whites with 100 and east asians with 105 and Ashkenazi Jews with 110?

It’s important to invest in the coming Latino majority.
