Shayne B. Piasta; Zhiling Shea; Alida K. Hudson; Ye Shen; Jessica A. R. Logan; Cynthia M. Zettler-Greeley; Kandia Lewis – Grantee Submission, 2025
A growing number of early childhood interventions are intended to be used by classroom teachers to support children's emergent literacy development, yet we know little about for whom such interventions might be effective. In this study, we examined whether children's initial emergent literacy skills (alphabet knowledge, phonological awareness,…

Shayne B. Piasta; Alida K. Hudson; Jessica A. R. Logan; Kandia Lewis; Cynthia M. Zettler-Greeley – Grantee Submission, 2025
Purpose: We hypothesize that alphabet learning during early childhood matters for reading and spelling in alphabetic languages. In this preregistered study, we conceptually replicated and extended work on children's alphabet learning trajectories and associations with Grade 1 outcomes. Method: Preschool-aged English-speaking U.S. children (n =…

Despite being a critical emergent literacy skill and an indicator of risk for later reading difficulties, relatively little is known about how alphabet knowledge develops over time. This study utilized a person-centered approach and longitudinal sample of 998 preschool-aged children (M = 56.50 months old) to examine patterns in letter name and…

Research Findings: The current study examined whether collective small-group behavioral engagement and teacher behavior management during small-group instruction predicted print knowledge, phonological awareness, letter writing, and expressive vocabulary gains for preschoolers at-risk for literacy difficulties. This study, part of a larger…

Do Classroom and Home Environments Jointly Contribute to Literacy Gains for Preschoolers At-Risk for Literacy Difficulties?

Kandia Lewis; Alida Hudson; Jessica A. R. Logan; Shayne B. Piasta; Cynthia M. Zettler-Greeley; Laura L. Bailet – Grantee Submission, 2025
For preschool-aged children at-risk for literacy difficulties, we examined whether classroom and home environments were jointly associated with literacy skill gains and whether environments moderated response to intervention (n = 281). We first used a person-centered approach to characterize children's classroom and home environments, identifying…
