Abstract: The proposed project is a multi-year data collection effort to evaluate the effectiveness of PAVEd for Success (PAVE), an intervention VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:56 Aug 24, 2007 Jkt 211001 designed to improve teachers’ vocabulary instructional practices and thereby promote vocabulary development among kindergarteners in the Delta region of Mississippi. The children in this region are well behind national averages in vocabulary skills, and vocabulary knowledge is an essential component of literacy development that has generally been difficult to improve. The PAVE program is one vocabulary program that has shown promise, but more rigorous testing is required to establish evidence of its effectiveness. The study sample will include 120–160 teachers, and 1,200–1,600 kindergarten students in a randomized control trial in 60–80 schools. Student’s literacy skills and teacher’s literacy instruction practices will be assessed to determine the impact of PAVE on students and teachers.
