📚Looking for 1st through 4th Graders to participate in a Reading Research Study this Summer through UConn Neag School of Education! We are exploring what children do when they mispronounce a word and its association with other reading skills.


The Hillsborough Schools Literacy Symposium was the perfect start to summer. Grateful for the opportunity to spend 3 days discussing early writing with an amazing group of educational professionals who inspire me 📝💗.


Check out this article highlighting a clinical research partnership with Amy Brummel an innovative SLP interested in evaluating the promise of a reading intervention delivered by families: ahs.illinois.edu/shs-spring-202…. I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to collaborate with her!

COVID-19 closures did not have significant negative impacts on pre-K children’s language and literacy skills at kindergarten entry, study finds. ➡️ bit.ly/4bWbBZP Meaghan McKenna #ElizabethBurkeHadley #SiyuLiu #EunsookKim USF David C. Anchin Center AERA Sage Education

Would love to have more child language and reading researchers join us at USC Communication Sciences and Disorders! If your work considers disparities and you have not previously had a TT position, this cluster hire could be a great opportunity! #devlangdis #Dyslexia

Enjoyed presenting EveryoneReadingIL Dynamics of Dyslexia Fall Conference in Naperville! Special thanks to my fabulous community partner Amy Brummel for increasing my awareness of local organizations and events! So exciting to share preliminary findings from collaborations in Illinois!


We may not have power at our homes, but the school has power, internet and ice cold AC. We were able to come together and watch our Tampa Bay Buccaneers make the Saints go marching!! We also handed out over 200 meals to our community. Today was a good day. We are #strongerthanthestorm
