JUDY WOODRUFF:

A new report due out later this week from the National Institute on Early Education Research finds that a number of states are struggling to find ways to improve access to high quality pre-kindergarten.

Special correspondent Cat Wise has our report. It's part of our Making the Grade series on education that airs every Tuesdays.
