Development of language-based comprehension intervention.
The aims of Study 2 are:
- To define and develop multiple instantiations of language-based comprehension intervention (two instantiations x 5 grade levels) that will increase language development, background knowledge, and listening and reading comprehension in PK through G3 pupils;
- To improve the interventions through a systematic and iterative process involving feasibility trials and pilot testing to arrive at two fully manualized instantiations of language-based comprehension interventions for each grade level, ready for controlled trials in Study 3; and
- To develop valid and reliable measures of treatment fidelity for each of the instantiations that fully represents the key features of change.
