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.

Great to be listening to @DrFionaKyle talking about the use of GAPS in DHH children to consider predicting literacy difficulties @HVDL_Foundation
Literacy & Deafness Development Research Lab retweeted
@DrFionaKyle talking &@HVDL_Foundation: testing impacted by #COVID so recruitment extended across 4 waves. #GAPS has good #reliability & #validity, also when used by #teachers. #Sensitivity & #specificity? Yes, preliminary data for #grammatical difficulty. See conclusions slide

Excited to be at the @wellcometrust today for the @HVDL_Foundation conference today – at Camden Town, London
