Community

2003 – date

Community–based research

As a school psychologist, and applied reading researcher, the philanthropic role of service to the community plays a central role in all that I do. I ran 60 twilight parent workshops in 2013 and 2014. We have developed parent websites to support early literacy and socio-emotional development, and I ran 10 teacher workshops and follow-up consultations.

Free literacy assessments to the community

As part of our work with poor readers, we have offered extensive assessment and long reports of attainment for free for dozens of children.

Free reading interventions for the community

The ABRACADABRA research project seeks to develop and disseminate a computer-based system for early preventative reading interventions that is and will continue to be disseminated without financial charge. I have been the main academic developing and implementing this ambitious project from first principles, an enormous amount of work but also ran enormous contribution to community literacy. The site has thousands of hits worldwide (e.g. 31,189 visited it between June 1 and June 13 2012, google analytics)

I invite you to explore this site in depth to get a sense of the richness of this intervention:
