Next week I will be chairing a symposium at the annual meeting of the Society for the Scientific Study of Reading in Copenhagen, Denmark. The symposium is titled “The bases of representation in the reading system”, and will host talks from myself and three other researchers: Valeria Rogobon, Signy Wegener (Australian Catholic University and the Australian Centre for the Advancement of Literacy), and Laura Steacy (from Florida State and FCRR). Don Compton is the discussant. The abstract for the symposium is listed below. To anyone attending SSSR this year, we hope to see you there.
