Official title
Enhancing Reading Skills in 1st Grade Children Identified as Reading Below Grade Level
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of the present study is to assess a reading intervention for first graders who are identified by their teachers as reading below grade level. The intervention addresses reading skills through a variety of techniques including games, play, movement exercises, music, and breaks to enhance literacy skills and reduce frustration commonly accompanying sight word recognition and phonemic decoding. Over half of elementary school students in the United States are reading below grade level compared to their same age peers. Children with poor reading skills are more likely to experience academic and behavioral problems. When students are not reading at grade level by 4th grade, they are more likely to experience future academic failure, school dropout, juvenile delinquency, teenage pregnancy, and under- or unemployment in adulthood. Traditional methods of classroom large group instruction require children to sit quietly and concentrate on small print for extended periods of time. Many children experience frustration and agitation in response to such reading demands.
