For example, children in poverty often have less verbal interaction with their parents, resulting in significantly lower vocabularies at the time they
enter school

Early academic failures are second only to poverty in predicting school failure.

Students whose behaviors identify them as academically or behaviorally deficient are more likely to be exposed to negative interaction and punishment in the classroom and are less likely to be engaged in instructional time with their teachers.
![Page 32: Steve Vitto :A Case for Tarheted Imterventions and PBIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5558b1d0d8b42a7e298b4919/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The justice and welfare systems overwhelmingly serve individuals who have poorly developed academic skills and have experienced school failure. Lower levels of literacy are strongly associated with higher rates of delinquency and incarceration.
![Page 33: Steve Vitto :A Case for Tarheted Imterventions and PBIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5558b1d0d8b42a7e298b4919/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Most prevention efforts begin in school because it is the place where professionals have the greatest, and typically the earliest, access to children. School-wide efforts to prevent student failure can be organized under a system of positive behavioral interventions and support that involves the entire school. (Sugai et al., 2005 )
![Page 34: Steve Vitto :A Case for Tarheted Imterventions and PBIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5558b1d0d8b42a7e298b4919/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Early problem behavior is highly related to successful school experiences (Gresham, Lane, & Lambros, 2000; Lyman, 2002). Children who evidence problem behavior at school are likely to struggle early, often, and throughout their school careers (Patterson, 1992; Walker, Colvin, & Ramsey, 2005).
