Purpose
- This study, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is focused on developing methods for the prevention and treatment of reading comprehension problems.
- Our goal is to understand problems by understanding the changing structure of reading across development, as well as the cognitive, psychological and ecological mechanisms that contribute to reading comprehension outcomes.
- We build on the longitudinal work of the LARRC project (see "previously funded projects").

- Promotes academic success among Spanish-speaking English learners and fosters bilingualism
- Objective is to develop a dual language narrative intervention program, complete with training materials, extension vocabulary activities, and progress monitoring tools, with maximum feasibility in Head Start classrooms
- Will extend an English-only program called Story Champs (Spencer & Petersen, 2012) to enhance its potential with preschool age Spanish-speaking English learners
- Three tiers of interventions (large group, small group, and individual) were designed for early childhood Response to Intervention (RTI) models

- Enhanced Moved by Reading to Accelerate Comprehension in English
- Adaptation of the Moved by Reading (PI Glenberg, A.) intervention targeted at Spanish-speaking English language learners (ELLs)
- A two-step intervention for enhancing reading comprehension based on an embodied approach to language comprehension - manipulating images on an iPad to simulate sentences they read, and later imagining the manipulation
- Incorporates intelligent tutoring adaptations to the Moved by Reading intervention
