Hi #SSSR2021 #dyslexia and #devlangdis colleagues! Know anyone looking 4 a postdoc? We have a position and would love to work with someone interested in language and reading who has interest/experience in 1 or more of these: word learning, language variation, eyetracking, or ERP.

Thank you everyone who came to the Q + A for our Symposium "Bilingual reading development through cross-linguistic & neuro-behavioral perspectives." I enjoyed speaking about the latent profile analysis of poor comprehenders in French Immersion. #SSSR2021 @SSSReading @literacy_lab
