Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Reading Skills of Middle-School Aged Children | Reading skills will be assessed using the Gray Oral Reading Test 5 (GORT 5) and the Test of Orthographic Competency (TOC). The Gray Oral Reading Test 5 assesses oral reading skills of individuals ages 6-23 years old, in the areas of rate, accuracy, fluency, and comprehension. The Test of Orthographic Competence assesses reading skills of children ages 6-17 years old, looking at proficiency with letters, spelling, punctuation, abbreviations and special symbols. | These assessments will be administered at the start of the study and at the end of the study. Total timeframe from Time 1 to Time 2 is 7 weeks. | |
Secondary | Literacy Engagement of Middle-School Aged Children | The researchers will also administer the modified Inventory of Reading Occupations (modified-IRO), a literacy engagement scale created by the investigators using the two standardized assessments, Inventory of Reading Occupations Pediatric version, and Inventory of Reading Occupations Adult version. | This assessment will be administered at the start of the study and at the end of the study. Total timeframe from Time 1 to Time 2 is 7 weeks. |
