Title of project: 
Association between social disadvantage and children’s language and literacy attainments between ages 3-and-9.
Proposal summary: 
Impact of research: 
We expect the work to inform the significant social predictors of the development of children’s language and literacy development. Understanding the impact of social disadvantage may benefit the development of screening tools for reading difficulties such as dyslexia, that can trace actual difficulties and rule out poor reading performance due to limited learning resources in deprived environments. We intend to present the findings at educational conferences and workshops, as well as scientific conferences and in peer-reviewed journals.
