Funded Activity Summary

Making words stick: Lexical consolidation effects in learning to read. To become skilled readers, children need to move from sounding words out to recognising them rapidly via access to rich, long-term memory representations. Little is known about how this transition is achieved, and why some children have difficulty. This project aims to address these questions in a set of learning studies with typically-developing and reading-impaired children, focussing particularly on the long-term consolidation of word representations. The project will explore the role of sleep in promoting the consolidation process, in both children and adults. The findings are expected to directly inform theory and practice in reading acquisition and enhance the treatment of reading difficulties.
