Note. IBR = Interactive Book Reading condition, PA = Phonological Awareness condition, BAU = no-treatment Business-as-Usual condition. Values are observed minutes during one midyear preschool observation for each student afforded to literacy activity or grouping strategy during the first 60 minutes of teacher-designated literacy focused classroom activities; missing observations for two IBR students (with their teachers) from Cohort 3.
