Child Language & Literacy Lab

Principal Investigator: C. Melanie Schuele, Ph.D.

Description

The Child Language and Literacy Lab focuses on the study of language and literacy development of children with typical development and children with atypical development.

Talking, reading, and writing are very interconnected skills. Children who are good talkers tend to be good readers and writers. Children with language learning difficulties tend to have difficulty learning to read and write. Our research is focused on understanding the processes that underlie learning to talk, to read, and to write. Our goal is to conduct research that helps children become better talkers, readers, and writers.

When parents ask: What will my child do in your research study?

We answer: Play, talk, read, and write.
