Brief Summary: Despite the fact that a substantial number of school age children struggle with both reading and math acquisition the brain mechanisms of the overlapping aspects of reading and math skills thought in part to be linked via executive functions EF have not been unpacked This project will use a longitudinal design following children from Kindergarten through 1st grade to understand how the brain networks associated with reading math and EF interact to predict academic outcomes and in those who struggle academically intervention response
Detailed Description: This longitudinal study will be conducted with 260 Kindergartners staggered across multiple cohorts who are followed through 1st grade There will be three time points of testing for each cohort fall of Kindergarten spring of Kindergarten and in the fall of 1st grade

After the third testing time point in the fall of 1st grade the bottom 13 of readers in the sample will be selected to participate in the intervention arm of the study These students will be randomly placed in one of two arms business-as-usual in which children receive no additional instruction or the reading intervention condition in which they receive 20 hours of 11 reading intervention over 6 weeks Children in both sub-sample arms are assessed again after tutoring is complete in the spring of 1st grade

Neuroimaging through magnetic resonance imaging MRI and functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI will occur as part of study participation in conjunction with testing at fall of Kindergarten fall of 1st grade and spring of 1st grade time points
