We are writing to invite young children to participate in a fun language perception study! You and your child can participate online via Zoom or in person at a time that is convenient for you.

The study is open to 3- to 5-year-old typically developing children who are acquiring English as a first language.

Your child will engage in a task in which they will be shown four images and asked to touch one of them (e.g. "touch the star!"). The total time for the study is 20–30 minutes including breaks.

We will send you a $20 Amazon gift card within one to two weeks of study completion. We have attached a flier with further details.

Interested? Contact us at ldclab.boulder@colorado.edu.
