1. Dr. Kelly Cartwright -- The Active View of Reading Framework and the Role of Executive Skills in Reading Comprehension
02/20/23 • 39 min
Today’s guest is Dr. Kelly Cartwright. We’ll talk about her invaluable work around executive skills, and the ways that these important skills undergird reading engagement and comprehension. We’ll also discuss her 2021 paper with Dr. Nell Duke titled “The Science of Reading Progresses” about The Active View of Reading framework, which incorporates current research on executive skills and explains critical “bridging processes” connecting word reading and language comprehension. Later, I’m joined by my colleagues Darren Victory and Lainie Powell for a conversation about practical takeaways.
