 The goal of this study is to learn if a digital app is useful in helping newcomers to Canada improve their English abilities. The NeuroCognitive Imaging Lab at Dalhousie University has partnered with Simon Fraser University and Mango Languages to conduct this study.
 
 ## What You Will Be Asked to Do
-We are currently recruiting people to take part in this study. If you are interested in participating, you will be given a choice to "consent" (agree) to take part in the study. If you agree to participate, you will complete questionnaires and tests online, and then you will be given free access to an ESL (English as a second language) program offered through the app, Mango Languages. You will be asked to use the Mango Languages app to play games intended to help improve your English. We ask that you try to use the app at least 1 hour per week, for a period of 8 weeks. We recommend that you practice for 20 minutes, 3 times per week, but that is up to you. At the end of 8 weeks, you will be asked to do a final test of your English abilities.

If you agree to participate, you will complete several online questionnaires and assessment. You won't have to complete them in one session.

 ## Compensation and Benefits
 
-Everyone who is an active participant in the study (you are using the app for at least 1 hour every week, during the 8 week period you are in the study) will be entered in a monthly draw to win a $50 Amazon.ca gift card. There will be two drawings in the 8-week period and the chance to win is at least 1/100.

 During the study, you will have free access to an ESL program on Mango Languages. Your English ability may improve by using this app.
 
 Your English ability will be assessed by the TrueNorth test at the start and end of the study, and you will be able to see your score. This test provides scores that can be compared to widely-used tests of English ability, such as CEFR and ACTFL. The TrueNorth scores may be interesting and useful to you, to understand your English ability level. Normally you would have to pay for a TrueNorth assessment, but for people enrolled in this study you do not have to pay for this test.

 Past literature suggests that an early indicator of reading ability is how precisely individual words are represented in the brain. That is, individuals who read fluently would have distinct representations of each word in their brain. Previously, using electroencephalography (EEG), we found that more differentiated brain responses to individual words were associated with stronger reading ability.
 
 ## Overview of the Current Study
-To build on previous research examining the relationships between brain activity and reading ability, the present study is a 2-year longitudinal study. Children from grades 2 and 3 are recruited and participation lasts until they are in Grades 4 and 5.  We’ll conduct one functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) session to examine their neural activity patterns in response to individual words and multiple reading assessments over the two years. With neuroimaging tools, and behavioural measures of reading ability, we can then investigate if more differentiated brain responses, to different words, are related to better reading skill.

 ## Objectives
 The goal of this study is to investigate the relationship between reading skills and children's brain responses to words, so that we can better understand how individual differences in brain activity relate to children’s future reading abilities.
 
 ## Current State of the Study
