The magic in magician
Background Oral language has long been acknowledged as a prominent influence on children's reading development. Here, we examine the intersecting contribution of two prominent aspects of oral language – phonology and morphology. We explore this interface by examining contributions from the two dimensions of phonology – phonemic and prosodic – of morphological awareness on children's reading development. Methods In a longitudinal study, we track t…
Do children with developmental dyslexia have syntactic awareness problems once phonological processing and memory are controlled
Introduction Syntactic awareness is the ability to monitor and manipulate word order within sentences. It is unclear whether children with dyslexia have syntactic awareness problems, as there are mixed results in the literature. Dyslexia is typically classified with very poor word and nonword reading and phonological processing problems are often observed in this population. It is conceivable that a phonological deficit could strain memory when p…
Eye tracking reveals subtle spoken sentence comprehension problems in children with dyslexia
The Effects of Phonological Short-Term Memory and Speech Perception on Spoken Sentence Comprehension in Children
A Closer Look at Phonology as a Predictor of Spoken Sentence Processing and Word Reading
What Can Be Done To Improve Struggling High Schools
In spite of decades of well-intentioned efforts targeted at struggling high schools, outcomes today are little improved. A handful of innovative programs have achieved great success on a small scale, but more generally, the economic futures of the students at the bottom of the human capital distribution remain dismal. In our view, expanding access to educational options that focus on life skills and work experience, as opposed to a focus on tradi…
