Study Summary

This trial examines the effects of a new intervention that helps struggling readers improve knowledge retrieval and inferencing. 316 diverse students in grades 4-6 will be studied to determine effectiveness. Outcomes to be reported.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for struggling readers in grades 4-6 who read below a certain level on the Test of Silent Reading Efficiency. It's not for kids with significant cognitive or behavioral disabilities.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how improving knowledge retrieval affects making inferences while reading. It compares two educational methods using statistical models to see which one helps students understand texts better.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is an educational intervention, traditional medical side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience varying levels of stress or frustration related to the learning activities.

Experimental Treatment

Placebo Group

Group I: Variable TestExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Students will be taught a knowledge base comprised of 18 facts about Egypt. After learning the knowledge base to criterion, students will practice retrieving the knowledge base across four testing sessions spaced 24 hours apart. Students will receive different questions across testing sessions. Next, students will read 6 passages about Egypt and then answer literal and inferential questions about the passages. Immediately after reading the passages, students will get re-tested on their retention of the knowledge base and use of the knowledge base to form inferences. They will also get retested one week and one month later to examine students' long-term retention of the knowledge base and use to make inferences.

Group II: Repeated TestExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Students will be taught a knowledge base comprised of 18 facts about Egypt. After learning the knowledge base to criterion, students will practice retrieving the knowledge base across four testing sessions spaced 24 hours apart. Students will receive the same questions repeated across testing sessions. Next, students will read 6 passages about Egypt and then answer literal and inferential questions about the passages. Immediately after reading the passages, students will get re-tested on their retention of the knowledge base and use of the knowledge base to form inferences. They will also get retested one week and one month later to examine students' long-term retention of the knowledge base and use to make inferences.

Group III: PlaceboPlacebo Group2 Interventions

Students will be taught a knowledge base comprised of 18 facts about Egypt. After learning the knowledge base to criterion, students will re-read the passages. They will not receive any questions. Next, students will read 6 passages about Egypt and then answer literal and inferential questions about the passages. Immediately after reading the passages, students will get re-tested on their retention of the knowledge base and use of the knowledge base to form inferences. They will also get retested one week and one month later to examine students' long-term retention of the knowledge base and use to make inferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does this clinical trial extend to individuals of advanced age?

"Applicants for this trial must be between 8 and 14 years of age to qualify. Additionally, there are 18 clinical trials available for minors under the age of 18 and 3 studies suitable for individuals over 65."

Answered by AI

Would I be eligible to participate in this research investigation?

"This study requires 316 participants aged between 8 and 14 who are suffering from dyslexia. Furthermore, they must have achieved a score below 93 on the Test of Silent Reading Efficiency in order to be included."

Answered by AI

Is there an opportunity for people to join this research test?

"Affirmative. Data published on clinicaltrials.gov verifies that this medical study, which was posted on May 31st 2023, is actively enrolling participants. 316 patients must be recruited from a single location."

Answered by AI

How many participants have signed up to participate in this research program?

"Indeed, the data posted on clinicaltrials.gov confirms that this research project is open to new participants. It was first released on May 31st 2023 and further refined as recently as June 21st 2023. In total, 316 individuals are being sought from a single medical facility."

Answered by AI

What is the principal aim of this investigation?

"This medical trial intends to observe the impact of a pre-intervention on Gates-MacGinite Reading Test, 4th Edition. Additional objectives include measuring changes in reading fluency and comprehension with the Test of Silent Reading Efficiency as well as gauging knowledge acquisition through Knowledge Retrieval after students read passages and form inferences."
