The information PMI assembled about the actions most likely to contribute to school readiness fell into three domains: health, social and cognitive environments, and the neighborhood environment. For users whose most urgent needs or greatest opportunities lie in one of these domains, PMI has sorted the actions that contribute to school readiness by which of three objectives (or goals) they are most closely associated with.
You have chosen to view the domain of “Children in good health,” which includes actions that improve school readiness rates because they lead to:

Examples that appear in bold and underlined are described in depth elsewhere on this website; other examples have links to websites where you will find more information. |
