Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: I use data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study to examine both the number and the types of extracurricular activities in which elementary school students participate, and find significant differences in participation patterns by gender, race, and class. The number of activities in which students participate during kindergarten and first grade affects their gains in reading achievement test scores, but does not affect teachers’ evaluations of language arts skills. Dance lessons and athletic activities, in particular, are influential in increasing students’ gains in reading scores, while art lessons, and the interaction of art lessons and socioeconomic status, have an effect on teachers’ evaluations. Interactions with socioeconomic status show that less-privileged children benefit more from participation in activities than do more-privileged children, providing evidence against social reproduction theory.
