This document outlines a study to evaluate how mobile technology can inform the development of an early literacy data-driven model for kindergarten students. The study will implement an intervention plan with kindergarten teachers at an elementary school that includes reviewing student benchmark and progress monitoring data, planning small group interventions, and discussing the effects of interventions. Data sources like teacher interviews, observations, and student assessment scores will be collected throughout implementation to answer the research questions.
