About this study
Official title: Ready to Read: A School-Based Intervention to Promote Growth Mindset and Reading
Primary Aim/Objective: To determine if a school-based intervention promoting reading with a growth mindset framework improves student reading achievement in the intervention group compared to a wait-list comparison group of children in kindergarten through 2nd grade.
Secondary Aim/Objective: To determine if students whose parents endorse a fixed mindset with regard to student reading abilities show more improvement post-intervention than parents that endorse growth mindset.
Secondary Aim/Objective: To determine if more parents endorse growth than fixed mindset post-intervention.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Reading and Growth MindsetBehavioural
Parents and students receive a packet of age-appropriate books and educational materials (flyer/handouts, link to educational video) on how to read together/promote reading with their child using growth mindset strategies and where to find other reading materials. Parents also receive 2 weekly text messages with tips and reminders to read with their child daily for 20 minutes over the course of 8 weeks. The messages contain a link to a secure Redcap survey to log days and time spent reading the prior week.
Wait-list ControlBehavioural
Parents and students receive a packet of age-appropriate books at the same time as the intervention group, but do not receive specialized instruction or reminders to read or any information on growth mindset and reading.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Reading Achievement on the Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System
Change in standardized reading achievement scores collected by the school district to assess reading comprehension, fluency, phonemic awareness.
Measured: Administered at baseline and through intervention completion, an average of 8 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Change in Parent Growth Mindset as applied to Reading
Change in parent growth mindset as assessed by 6 mindset questions based on prior studies on reading abilities in children, assessed on a 6-point Likert scale. Modeled after the classic Growth Mindset of Intelligence questionnaires
Measured: Administered at baseline and through intervention completion, an average of 8 weeks
