Excited & grateful to share that my @arc_gov_au #DECRA application was successful. I’ll be spending the next 3 years working out how children adjust their mispronunciations as they learn to read new words. Huge thanks to my collaborators and mentors #DE25 @Adv_Literacy @ACUmedia

Check out a new publication from ACAL's @RigobonReads and @TheFCRR colleagues. This study examines US college students’ spelling of irregular words in English and what their (in)accuracy can tell us about the nature of word forms stored in memory.
