Optimal intervention intensity for emergent literacy: What we know and need to learn.
Summary of "Optimal intervention intensity for emergent literacy: What we know and need to learn."
In response to Baker (2012) unpacking critical components of optimal intervention intensity, this article explores what is currently known regarding intervention intensity for emergent literacy for children at risk for delays in this area of development. Studies specifically addressing intervention intensity related to phonological awareness and print knowledge suggest that more intensity does not always yield better results, and other factors suggested by Baker may influence the impact of intensity on children's outcomes. However, none of the research to date includes speech-language pathologists or children with diagnosed language disorders in the intervention models. Future research involving large-scale, systematic focus on intervention intensity in emergent literacy for children at risk for future reading disorders is needed to fully understand this construct within speech-language pathology services.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Diuron
A pre-emergent herbicide.
Nephelometry And Turbidimetry
Chemical analysis based on the phenomenon whereby light, passing through a medium with dispersed particles of a different refractive index from that of the medium, is attenuated in intensity by scattering. In turbidimetry, the intensity of light transmitted through the medium, the unscattered light, is measured. In nephelometry, the intensity of the scattered light is measured, usually, but not necessarily, at right angles to the incident light beam.
Computer Literacy
General learning, knowledge, and fluency with computer terms; also, becoming familiar with how computers operate and how they are programmed.
Radiotherapy, Intensity-modulated
CONFORMAL RADIOTHERAPY that combines several intensity-modulated beams to provide improved dose homogeneity and highly conformal dose distributions.
Health Literacy
Degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions.
