By taking part, your child will help us ensure the activities are reliable and fun 鈥� the best that they can possibly be.听These high-quality activities will then be used in a separate multi-year study designed to better understand how children鈥檚 language skills are related to their reading comprehension across the elementary grades.听 听
The activities will take no more than听45 minutes听补苍诲听can be completed online from home.
To take part, you will need:听听
A stable internet connection.听
A听desktop computer or laptop听that connects to the internet and can be used for video conferencing. Devices must be equipped with a camera as well as audio input and output. Some devices have these abilities built in while others require the addition of a webcam or a microphone.听听
A quiet room and/or headphones to decrease distractions.听
Children who take part will receive a certificate via email recognizing their contribution to research. Parents/guardians will also have the option of receiving information on their child鈥檚 individualized word reading ability.
