OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Anne Treisman Lecture: Dyslexia Reconsidered: Multiple Pathways from Language to Reading?
This is a hybrid event.
The classic view of dyslexia is of a specific learning disorder characterized by a selective impairment of phonological processing which compromises reading development. Research evidence now challenges this view and highlights the impact of poor language on learning to reading. With findings from a longitudinal study of children at high-risk of dyslexia as a backdrop, I will argue that oral language is the foundation for literacy and that there is more than one developmental pathway to poor reading. Comparing the developmental trajectories of children who develop ‘pure dyslexia’ with those who have dyslexia in the context of co-occurring impairments of oral language (DLD) confirms the view that risk factors accumulate to determine the severity of reading impairment. In closing I will draw out the implications of this multifactorial view of reading difficulties for intervention, educational policy and practice.
The lecture will be followed by a ‘Tea and Cake’ Reception in the large kitchen on the 2nd Floor of New Radcliffe House. To secure your place for both the seminar and the ‘Tea and Cake’ Reception please register via Eventbrite using the booking link below.
