A study to help young children with reading and spelling skills
This study tests a program to improve phonological awareness (the ability to hear and use sounds in words) in pre-K and kindergarten children who are behind their peers. It aims to help them become better readers and spellers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is in prekindergarten or kindergarten.
- Your child is at least 4 years old.

- Your child does not have severe vision or hearing problems that would make it hard to participate.
- Your child can speak and understand English at a basic level.
- Your child does not have severe behavior issues that would interfere with the program.
