Great job 👍👏 - so good to see language intervention research done so well. Ozge Ozturk Human Communication Sciences | Sheffield Sarah Spencer

My research with 273 Y1 pupils showed that classroom vocabulary teaching can additionally improve phonic reading. Working on oral language can have far-reaching effects!

Rose Brooks Hi Rose! Is this work published yet? If so, I’d love a copy! Here is a study that showed that word meaning instruction improved word reading accuracy and fluency for 4th-5th grade students with dyslexia. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

It’s great that schools are focusing on dyslexia but there are other lesser-known literacy and language difficulties that often 'get missed’, explains world-leading expert Maggie Snowling in our latest Tes magazine Q&A tes.com/magazine/teach…

Attending and presenting at the BERA conference in Birmingham on Thursday. Once again talking about my research into vocabulary teaching for younger pupils to support vocabulary and wider phonic outcomes.
