Summary

This trial will test the efficacy of Let's Know!, a small-group, language focused comprehension intervention, on children's lower- and higher-level language skills and comprehension skills in the short- and long-term.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Grade 1 children with low language skills, at risk of comprehension difficulties. They must have parental consent, score below a specific language screener threshold, and possess basic English proficiency. Children with profound disabilities or serious behavior issues affecting classroom participation are excluded.
What is being tested?
The 'Let's Know!2' intervention is being tested to improve language and reading comprehension in young children. This study randomly assigns kids to either the Let's Know! program or regular school activities and tracks their progress from Grade 1 through Grade 3.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be variations in individual experiences based on the child’s engagement and response to the intervention.
