Discovering the Power of Words
Welcome to ReadOxford. We are a research group based in the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford. Our research aims to answer questions about how children learn to read. How do children first begin to recognise words? Why are some words hard to read and understand? How do we comprehend what we read? These are just some of our questions. Join us as we discover the power of words.
