Description

A preschool intervention developed by researchers that combines the Preschool PATHS social-emotional learning curriculum with interactive literacy activities, phonological-awareness training, and teacher training and mentoring for disadvantaged children.

Components

  • REDI preschool program combining social-emotional learning with early literacy activities: REDI (Research Based, Developmentally Informed) is a preschool program "designed primarily to enhance executive functions and school readiness among disadvantaged students." It delivers the Preschool PATHS social-emotional learning curriculum alongside "an interactive storybook reading and retelling approach, along with phonological awareness training and alphabet center activities," and is taught by classroom teachers with inservice training and weekly mentoring. (REDI (Research Based (2024))
  • Pairing social-emotional learning with interactive storybook reading and phonological awareness activities in preschool: REDI's instructional design combines an SEL curriculum with structured early-literacy activities: "an interactive storybook reading and retelling approach, along with phonological awareness training and alphabet center activities." The pattern pairs self-regulation and emotional-control teaching with language and print activities in the same preschool day. (REDI (Research Based (2024))
