We recommend that you practice for 20 minutes, 3 times per week, but that is up to you.

During the study, you will have free access to an ESL program on Mango Languages. Your English ability may improve by using this app. Your English ability will be assessed by the TrueNorth test at the start and end of the study, and you will be able to see your score. This test provides scores that can be compared to widely-used tests of English ability, such as CEFR and ACTFL. The TrueNorth scores may be interesting and useful to you, to understand your English ability level. Normally you would have to pay for a TrueNorth assessment, but for people enrolled in this study you do not have to pay for this test. ## Do you want to participate in this study? -Please go to [this link](https://bit.ly/3wNinP9) to get started + If you have any questions, please email us at [madworld@dal.ca](mailto:madworld@dal.ca) diff --git a/projects/What-Makes-a-Skilled-Reader.md b/projects/What-Makes-a-Skilled-Reader.md index 1c074322..2705609d 100644 --- a/projects/What-Makes-a-Skilled-Reader.md +++ b/projects/What-Makes-a-Skilled-Reader.md @@ -11,13 +11,13 @@ One of the most valuable skills we learn is how to read. Reading skill is essent Past literature suggests that an early indicator of reading ability is how precisely individual words are represented in the brain. That is, individuals who read fluently would have distinct representations of each word in their brain. Previously, using electroencephalography (EEG), we found that more differentiated brain responses to individual words were associated with stronger reading ability. ## Overview of the Current Study -To build on previous research examining the relationships between brain activity and reading ability, the present study is a 2-year longitudinal study. Children from grades 2 and 3 are recruited and participation lasts until they are in Grades 4 and 5. We’ll conduct one functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) session to examine their neural activity patterns in response to individual words and multiple reading assessments over the two years. With neuroimaging tools, and behavioural measures of reading ability, we can then investigate if more differentiated brain responses, to different words, are related to better reading skill. +To build on previous research examining the relationships between brain activity and reading ability, the present study is a 2-year longitudinal study.
