The study examines how brain networks related to reading skills and executive functions (EF) interact in young children. By following participants from Kindergarten through 1st grade, the research aims to predict academic outcomes and see how well they respond to reading tutoring interventions.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions such as reading tutoring rather than medical treatments or drugs, there are no direct physical side effects expected. However, participation may involve time commitment and potential stress associated with testing environments.
