Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if text can support children in learning new verbs in healthy children ages three through six. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does text support help children learn new verbs? Does a child's relative benefit from text support vary according to their literacy skills?

Participants will

* Watch videos of actions and hear novel words
* Name alphabet sounds to determine their literacy skills

Conditions

  • Typically Developing Children Ages 3 to 6

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Orthographic facilitation

Half of participants will receive orthographic support (text support) while learning new verbs. The investigators will compare learning with and without text support to determine if this aids verb learning.
