This study will also explore the interactions between child skills and word characteristics that expand our understanding of why some words are more or less challenging for some children to read.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: required: basic computing skills, attention to detail, interest in language/reading development

Mentoring Philosophy I believe the most exciting and insightful research utilizes involves interdisciplinary team members working in a community of practice. Mentorship within a community of practice allows team members to choose just how much expertise they would like to develop in areas that meet the goals of the combined research team, and allows team members to develop their own goals that can be supported by the most experienced team members within a safe environment.
