Our lab is fortunate to have a number of excellent undergraduate and graduate students who keep our research going every day. This group of individuals worked on projects related to the Reach Every Reader project, which was initially funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and led by Harvard University, MIT, and Florida State University (2018-2023).
During 2023-2024, we were involved in Reach Every Reader through a research contract funded by the South Carolina Department of Education. The goal of the work completed during 2023-2024 was to conduct preliminary validation work to localize the Reach Ever Reader screener for students in the state of South Carolina. We worked with the nonprofit organization Learning Ally and Florida State University on this project.
