Official title
Early Literacy Promotion Among Poor Urban Children in Philadelphia
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study is testing the effects of early literacy promotion compared to standard literacy promotion at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Eligible participants and their families will be consented and randomly assigned into either a standard literacy program or an early literacy program. Standard literacy will consist of the receipt of books and reading promotion beginning at 6 months of age, while early literacy will consist of the receipt of books and reading promotion beginning in the newborn period. In both groups, participants will receive weekly text messages until the child is 6 months old (the text messages will either about reading or safety) and have follow-up study visits at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. The study will examine the effects of the intervention on language development and reading behaviors.
