Had another fabulous day catching up with children who have been taking part in our longitudinal research study - #Preschool #LanguageLiteracy over the past four years. Lovely to see the progress they're making in reading 💪! @ros_herman @Ladder_Lab @DCAL_UCL @BATOD_UK @NDCS_UK
We have had a wonderful group of young researchers today, who have been helping the team from Ladder Lab (Literacy & Deafness Development Research Lab) to take part in a follow-up data collection. #TheElizabethFoundation #YoungResearchers @Ladder_Lab @DrFionaKyle @DCAL_UCL
