Po Poverty and Children • Poverty is Eed to structural differences in several areas of the brain associated with school readiness skills, with the largest influence observed among children from the poorest households. • Regional gray maXer volumes of children below 1.5 Emes the federal poverty level were 3 to 4 percentage points below the developmental norm ( P < .05).

Po Poverty and Children (ConEnued) • A larger gap of 8 to 10 percentage points was observed for children below the federal poverty level (P < .05). • These developmental differences had consequences for children’s academic achievement. • On average, children from low-income households scored 4 to 7 points lower on standardized tests (P < .05). • As much as 20% of the gap in test scores could be explained by maturaEonal lags in the frontal and temporal lobes.
