Biography: During my graduate school, my research primarily focused on school-aged children. Having the opportunity to do my post-doctoral fellowship at Hincks-Dellcrest centre, I would like to learn more about younger children. Language, cognitive, and social-emotional development of young children has always fascinated me. In addition, I am interested in studying children from disadvantaged populations such as low SES and new immigrants and how different factors affect children’s school readiness. I am also interested in learning about prevention and early intervention programs for infants and young children specially those from disadvantaged families. |
The language and culture of my heritage is passed on to me orally. it's a different way off learning than how I am taught at school. How do I keep my traditional culture alive while learning to read and being immersed in the majority culture?
Reading is the core of learning and staying in school . improving reading skills with young Aboriginal children can open up the doors to future prospects.
