No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand reading abilities of children born preterm: their cognitive profiles, the neural basis of good and poor reading abilities, and the behavioral and neural factors that predict persistent difficulties. The investigators hope to learn

* what specific skills correlate reading skills
* if preterm children have different cognitive profiles than full term children with respect to reading
* if cognitive skills measured in kindergarten predict reading ability in the second grade
* if parts of the brain are associated with reading skill
* whether brain characteristics in kindergarten predict reading in second grade.
