Univeristy of Canberra Research Project - Supporting preschool children’s development and learning through text messages.

We are investigating whether simple text messages can assist preschool parents in supporting their child’s development and learning. Research in the United States has shown that text messages containing simple ideas and activities that parents can do with their children at home in everyday activities can increase children’s school readiness.  

We are looking for preschool families who would be willing to receive three text messages a week over 18 weeks during Terms 3 and 4 of the 2022 school year. All families would be asked to complete an online survey at the beginning and end of the project and consent to their child participating in a school readiness assessment at the beginning and end of the project if randomly selected to be part of the evaluation sample. An information flyer and registration link can be viewed here.
