The intervention (a) targeted a range of higher-level cognitive tasks (describing, associating, predicting, making connections between concepts, analyzing); (b) gave teachers scripted talking points about content-related words (e.g., liquid, solid) at the point of use and open-ended questions with feedback before,during, and after reading; and (c) provided children with opportunities to reflect on and deeply process new content-related concepts. In addition to selecting highly important vocabulary, the intervention offered teachers intensive and intentional scripted opportunities to integrate new information and vocabulary with existing knowledge so that new information would be understood at a deeper level. Fidelity of implementation was 85%(SD = 12%).
