🚨 PhD scholarship opportunity 🚨 Join me on my Australian Research Council-funded DECRA project, which aims to discover how children adjust their initial mispronunciations as they learn to read irregular words acu.edu.au/research-and-e…

PhD scholarship available to work with me on an ARC-funded project investigating mispronunciation correction (set for variability) in primary school readers. Based in Sydney. Open to domestic and international applicants. Advertisement here: tinyurl.com/p7m5zukc Please RT.

Just published meta-analysis (open access): Morphology instruction is effective for improving reading and spelling outcomes, and spelling effects can transfer to untrained words – but we still need to learn more about why it works and how best to teach it doi.org/10.1007/s10648…

@IILearning Thanks, I'll check it out

Excited & grateful to share that my @arc_gov_au #DECRA application was successful. I’ll be spending the next 3 years working out how children adjust their mispronunciations as they learn to read new words. Huge thanks to my collaborators and mentors #DE25 @Adv_Literacy @ACUmedia
