2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Set for VariabilityExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Students in the experimental group will receive an average of 10-12 hrs. of small group intervention. All lessons will include (i) a focus on blending and segmenting phonemes within a synthetic phonics model, (ii) teaching common, vocabulary words (iii)shared book reading, and (iv) Set-for-variability component (SfV). This component will focus on teaching students how to find the sound variation of a grapheme-phoneme rule. For example when to use the sound /k/in /ch/ to read words such as "stomach"
Group II: Current best practicesActive Control1 Intervention
The control group will receive current-best practices (CBP). The participants will receive a similar approach as in the intervention group without Set-for-Variability. The participants will receive (i) a focus on blending and segmenting phonemes within a synthetic phonics model, (ii) vocabulary, (iii) shared book reading, and (iv) the absence of teaching Set-for-Variability. Instead of Set-for-variability, the participants will receive sight word reading of frequent words. They will learn the most frequent pronunciation of vowels: ee, ea, oo, ou, oa, ai, ay
