Research
I study how young children read longer texts on screens, and how teachers can plan reading lessons when a classroom mixes paper and devices.
Research themes
2024 to now
Scrolling and comprehension
How the pace and pattern of scrolling affect what children remember from a story.
2022 to now
Reading stamina
Short, reliable classroom checks of how long children can read with attention.
2023 to now
Shared reading with devices
What happens to read-aloud and discussion when a tablet or an audiobook enters the room.
