In light of recent discussions on the Simple View of Reading, oral lang, listening comp, and reading comp, this thread highlights recent research in these areas. Did you know @usedgov spent 100+ million to fund research on comprehension in children? ies.ed.gov/ncer/projects/… 1/20
"RIP Teachers College Reading and Writing Project. You helped turn learning to read into a rich family’s game."

Grateful for over 20 yrs of mentorship from and friendship with @CattsHugh. Thanks for making time to lunch with the lab, tour my new lab space, and cheers & chatting with family. What a fabulous Friday!
Check out my #srcld keynote presentation: 1. #dyslexia and #DevLangDis are prevalent but different, 2. both need universal screening in schools, 3. both word read & lang comp need MTSS models, 4. we need implementation science to see what works in schools! dropbox.com/scl/fi/3jnvudf…
"Domain-specific language assessments, particularly those testing receptive vocabulary, may overestimate the language ability of children with DLD."

Getting ready to be a guest on the @literacypodcast. More nerves being on the other side of the 🎤 though I’m excited to talk about lang comp #dyslexia & #DevLangDis
A $3.6 M grant from @NIH @NIDCD to IHP researchers @tiffanyphogan & Maura Curran w/ Shayne Piasta @OSUehe, @mindy_msb @KUMedCenter & Kandace Fleming @UnivOfKansas could be a game changer in preventing at-risk readers from falling behind their classmates. bit.ly/3g7QTfy
Very few children (~20%) with #DevLangDis are identified for school-based supports. To change this we need universal screeners. Many US states now require dyslexia screening. DLD has same prevalence. DLD screener test info here (@xuebao22 & @rkomesidou): osf.io/cajp5
Lots of questions about evidence-based language-focused curricula after Edweek report yesterday edweek.org/teaching-learn…. 🎉Thank you Shayne Piasta for this fabulous resource. 👏
Reading comprehension is a product of good instruction in word reading, world knowledge, vocabulary, and practice reading, etc, Sharon Vaughn, #dyslexiacon19
