CREATE Open Seminar: Effects From Early Language Interventions - Results From Large Scale Trials

Dr. Beth Phillips is Professor of Educational Psychology and Associate Director of the Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR) at Florida State University. Her research focuses on early literacy and language development in children aged two to seven years old. Through observational studies in homes, preschools, and elementary schools, Dr. Beth Phillips has investigated how literacy and language skills develop. Additionally, her work is concerned with how good educational plans can support the development of children's language skills, especially for children with limited foundational language skills. In this talk, she will share results from several intervention studies which primarily support sentence syntax and vocabulary in children of preschool and primary school age.
