The purpose of this project is to collaborate with early childhood educators to develop new curriculum materials that support accelerated language development among 2-to 3 -year -old children.
To better understand the skills associated with early word reading, Project FLEX will explore how set for variability, the ability to successfully problem solve inconsistent letter/sound relationships, and word reading develop together. Additionally, it will explore how well set for variability can be used as an identifier of risk for early word reading difficulties by examining how set for variability performance at the fall of kindergarten contributes to the prediction of word reading at the end of grade 1.
