A dissertation study on reading and vocabulary is underway through the Neag School of Education (UConn IRB approval # H24-0086). We are seeking students who will be in Grades 6 – 9 in the 2024-25 school year to complete two brief online meetings. Sessions are available through July 14.
What Is Involved?
- Students will attend two virtual meetings led by the researcher
- Each meeting lasts approximately 30 minutes
- The meetings are about a week apart
- In the meetings, students will read short nonfiction passages and take short comprehension and vocabulary tests
- Results of the tests will be shared with you
- Participants will receive a $10 gift card for completing both sessions
Who Can Participate?
- Students who are:
- rising to Grade 6 – 9 in the next academic year
- native English speakers (including bilingual speakers)
- A parent must speak English to provide permission for their child to participate
Groups of eligible family members, friends, etc. are welcome to attend the meetings at the same time.
