Yes, children's language ability upon entering kindergarten is strongly related to early reading achievement. Research has consistently shown that children with stronger language skills tend to perform better in reading assessments during their early school years. Language skills such as vocabulary, comprehension, and phonological awareness are building blocks for successful reading development.

No; it was in the German language. The first kindergarten in the United States seems to have been one in Watertown, Wisconsin, in 1856. It was conducted in German because the founder of the "kindergarten movement," Friedrich Froebel, was from Germany and the first women he trained to teach kindergarten also spoke German (including Margarethe Meyer-Shurz, a German woman who came to America and began the kindergarten class in Wisconsin). The first English-language kindergarten was operated in Boston, beginning in 1860, by Elizabeth Peabody.

It's like a garden of kids... Kindergarden! It's kindergarten. The word is taken directly from the German language into English. It literally means children's garden. From kinder meaning children (plural of kind--child) and garten meaning garden.
The language was English, because it was located in America. However, in the first Kindergarten, it was german. This is because it is made up of two german words, Kinder and Garten. Because the man who first created these described children as plants and teachers as gardeners, the term kindergarten emerged, kinder meaning child and garten meaning garden.
It comes from the German word meaning "childrens garden"
