@TammieH21897202 @CSDResearchDay (4/2) Altogether, the screener is only the first step of a whole process of early intervention to help children struggling with literacy close the gap between themselves and their peers before they fall behind in later elementary school.

@TammieH21897202 @CSDResearchDay (3/2) If indeed they are not learning literacy skills sufficiently, their teacher can provide additional support and connect with a speech-language pathologist to work on developing early literacy skills like phonological awareness, print knowledge and oral language.

@TammieH21897202 @CSDResearchDay Thank you for your question! We envision that after the screener has confirmed validity and reliability, it may be used by speech-language pathologist and teachers to catch children in their clinic or classroom who could benefit from more literacy support.

@60sToVocab @AnakateLD @CSDResearchDay (2/2) They will compare the results from the screener to a battery of established standardized assessments, such as CTOPP, in order to know that the screener is a valid assessment of phonological awareness and print knowledge.

@60sToVocab @AnakateLD @CSDResearchDay (1/2) Thank you for your question! A small number of children have been tested so far. The new group of SLP students taking over this CSD900 project will be primarily doing the testing with a larger group of participants.

@eskim8 @CSDResearchDay Thank you for your question! Our screener was developed to be used with children aged 4 to 5.
