NCT01905332 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study's aim is to validate a parent-completed brief literacy screening tool (Early Literacy Screener) at the 4 year well child check using the Get Ready to Read- Revised screening tool as a gold standard. Four year old children who fall below the cutoff score for the GRTR-R will be randomized to either receive current standard of care (control group) or a referral to receive a 6 month home based literacy promoting program (intervention group). After 6 months, both groups will be retested using the GRTR-R. The hypothesis is that the change in raw scores on the GRTR-R in the intervention group after 6 months will be greater than the change in raw scores in the control group.
