The main questions it aims to answer are:* how much STAR impacts children's literacy skills in the short-term and long-term--up to two-years after completing STAR.* how do caregiver supports in the form of small monetary rewards or encouraging texts help caregivers to implement STAR at its intended frequency of sessions per week.Caregiver participants will be assigned to either a control group or one of three STAR groups. Children's skills related to literacy and learning will be assessed before the intervention starts, at the end of the intervention, and every six months post-intervention for two years.Researchers will determine the short term and long term impacts of STAR compared to the control group. Researchers will compare the three STAR conditions to see if the rewards or encouragement helped parents to follow through with completing more STAR sessions., conditionsModule conditions: Developmental Language Disorder, conditions: Reading; Difficult, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: PREVENTION, maskingInfo masking: DOUBLE, whoMasked: PARTICIPANT, whoMasked: CARE_PROVIDER, enrollmentInfo count: 320, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Sit Together and Read (STAR), interventions name: Monetary Reward, interventions name: Text Encouragement, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Preschool Word and Print Awareness (PWPA), primaryOutcomes measure: Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS): Alphabet Knowledge and Name Writing, primaryOutcomes measure: The Reading House (THR), primaryOutcomes measure: Woodcock Johnson Test of Achievement- IV (WJ-IV): Word Attack and Letter-Word Identification, primaryOutcomes measure: Woodcock Johnson Test of Achievement- IV (WJ-IV): Spelling, Passage Comprehension, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 48 Months, maximumAge: 66 Months, stdAges: CHILD, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Schoenbaum Family Center; Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy, status: RECRUITING, city: Columbus, state: Ohio, zip: 43201, country: United States, contacts name: Jennifer M Bostic, MA, role: CONTACT, phone: 614-292-5715, email: bostic.18@osu.edu, contacts name: Laura M Justice, PhD, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Rebecca Dore, PhD, role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Hui Jiang, PhD, role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 39.96118, lon: -82.99879, locations facility: Nationwide Children's Hospital, status: RECRUITING, city: Columbus, state: Ohio, zip: 43205, country: United States, contacts name: Jamie B Boster, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 614-722-8756, email: jamie.boster@nationwidechildrens.org, contacts name: Jamie B Boster, PhD, CCC-SLP, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 39.96118, lon: -82.99879, hasResults: False
