Diversity of narrative context disrupts the early stage of learning the meanings of novel words
High quality lexical representations develop through repeated exposures to words in different contexts. This preregistered experiment investigated how diversity of narrative context affects the earliest stages of word learning via reading. Adults ( N = 100) learned invented meanings for eight pseudowords, which each occurred in five written paragraphs either within a single coherent narrative context or five different narrative contexts. The word…
Do family learning phonics courses improve parents' reading‐related skills and ability to support their children's reading
Background Parents play a crucial role in supporting children's literacy, especially in the first years of school. However, parents can find this challenging if they struggle with reading themselves.

These meanings appeared two, four, six, or eig…
