What words do children encounter when they read independently? Read our new QJEP paper analysing the language in children's books (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17…); and for an accessible blog post (rastlelab.com/post/what-word…). Congrats to lead author Maria Korochkina!

An amazing research project co-produced by our own Daisy Powell & Holly Joseph w/ members of the local community, will be highlighted tonight on BBC South, as the vital project, encouraging children’s reading through story book sessions, requires urgent funding.
