USC Knowledge of Orthographic Learning Lab - KOOL2

USC Knowledge of Orthographic Learning Lab - KOOL2 The Knowledge of Orthographic Learning Lab (KOOL2) investigates factors that potentially affect the development of reading and writing.

In the Knowledge of Orthographic Learning Lab (KOOL2), we investigate factors that potentially affect the development of reading and writing. One major focus is on how children develop orthographic knowledge (i.e., knowledge regarding the systematic manner in which we represent spoken language in writing). Ongoing studies deal with how children acquire the mental images of written words (mental gr

aphemic representations) as well as how they learn orthographic patterns via statistical learning. Although orthography is a major focus of investigations, we also study other factors known to affect reading and writing, including morphological awareness, or the conscious knowledge of the smallest units of meaning in language. For example, we are investigating the effects of a morphological awareness intervention on primary grade students’ morphological awareness, word-level reading, and reading comprehension skills. Collectively, these studies are conducted to further inform developmental theory about written language and how best to assess and instruct written language abilities.
