What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
preKBehavioural
Subjects enter and education program that either focuses on learning letters and their corresponding sounds or on language comprehension skills.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Letters | Education program focuses on learning letters. Receives: Behavioral: preK | |
| Language | Education program focuses on language comprehension. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Letter Knowledge
Knowledge of letter names and sounds. This is computed as percent correct (out of 52). Each child is shown a flash card with each upper case letter and asked to name it and say its sound
Measured: Within 2 weeks post intervention
