New Writing Research and News from Our Team

This systematic review provides a summary of the diagnostic accuracy of English language sample analysis (LSA) measures for the identification of developmental language disorder. Several LSA measures or combinations of measures are clinically useful for the identification of developmental language disorder, although more research is needed to 1) replicate findings using rigorous methods and 2) explore measures that are informative for adolescents and across diverse varieties of English.

This study examined the relation of observed classroom practices to language and literacy achievement and the moderation of this relation for students from pre-K to sixth grade. The results highlight the complex nature of classroom observation and a need for more classroom research, particularly on higher grade levels.

Leadership team members, Young-Suk Kim and Steve Graham were highlighted in a recently published study, "Individual and Institutional Productivity in Educational Psychology Journals from 2015 to 2021." The study reports institutional and individual productivity in educational psychology journals. Steve Graham and Young-Suk Grace Kim were part of the top producing scholars in educational psychology journals from 2015-2021.
