Study Overview

Brief 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
