Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Our primary aim of this study is to assess the impact of an early literacy text messaging program (TipsByText, TbT) for parents of children between 3 to 4-years old during an office visit without access to preschool. To assess this aim, our objectives are to specifically assess (1) child literacy using the Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening Tool (PALS-PreK) and (2) caregiver involvement using the Parent Child Interactivity Scale (PCI) pre- and post-intervention, comparing with a control group not receiving the TipsByText intervention. A secondary outcome of this study is to compare trust among families that participate in the Tips by Text (TbT) Program with families that do not participate in TbT using the Trust Evaluation Scale. Children will complete the PALS-PreK and caregivers of the children will complete the PCI and Trust Evaluation Scales.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Parents of participants must be last least 18 years of age.
* Parents must be English and Spanish speaking, as the Tips by Text texting platform is currently in those languages.
* Child must be 3-5 years old at the time of their clinic visit.

Exclusion Criteria

* Parent does not speak English or Spanish. This applies given that the texting intervention has the capacity to be conducted in these two languages.
* Parent does not have cell phone that would allow texting.
* For the literacy texting intervention, the child must NOT be enrolled in Head Start,Transitional Kindergarten or other subsidized preschool. Parents will be provided with a list of preschools that would warrant exclusion. Childcare is ok. For the trust and no-show evaluation arm, participants may be enrolled in any form of early childhood education.
* Child is currently receiving services for delay (speech, motor, or cognitive). If the child briefly received services for delays over a year before start date of the study, they are still eligible.
