Description:

Aston IHN are holding their next Molecules To Minds public lecture on language and literacy in children.

Most adults take reading for granted, yet for a beginner reader writing is just gobbledygook. The ability to crack the written code underpins all subsequent learning and provides the key to discovering new worlds and fictional friends. Dr Laura Shapiro will reveal the hurdles and fortunes on the journey from spoken to written language and discuss how our experience of learning to read changes the way we learn forever. This lecture will be targeted at anyone interested in literacy development in children and young people, including academics, teachers, parents and young people themselves.

Any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

Kind Regards
