New study shows parent involvement leads to better classroom attention is the title of an MSNBC article about research on pre-schoolers and their families.

The study also showed that a brief training program on attention aimed at 3- to 5-year-olds and their families could help boost brain activity and narrow the academic achievement gap between low- and high-income students.
