Science Pub From Home: The Science of Reading and the Reading of Science: Supports, Critiques, and Questions
At Zoom
UC Santa Barbara Associate Professor Diana J. Arya, Ph.D., will share what we know and still are learning about how individuals develop reading skills and how this development adapts in response to new social media technologies like Twitter and TikTok. She will also share insights on forthcoming changes to school-based literacy assessments that, for the first time, explicitly feature science as a key literacy discipline for K-12 students.
Arya is also faculty director of the McEnroe Reading and Language Arts Clinic, which is housed within UCSB's Gevirtz Graduate School of Education. She leads a number of research programs linked to Community Based Literacies.
