How soon can reading challenges like dyslexia be identified in children? And what role can technology play in supporting teachers as they work to develop student literacy?

On this episode of School’s In, we welcome Stanford Graduate School of Education (GSE) Associate Professor Jason Yeatman to discuss advancements in dyslexia screening, and how teachers can use technology to ease the burden of assessment and focus on supporting student learning. Yeatman covers several topics, including:

  • 02:42 What is dyslexia and why is early screening important?
  • 09:11 Designing engaging assessments: Gamification research
  • 16:52 Technology’s role: Supporting teacher expertise in literacy
  • 21:05 Applying ROAR beyond the primary grades
  • 23:34 ROAR at home: Data access for parents

Jason Yeatman is an associate professor at the GSE where his research focuses on understanding the mechanisms behind the learning process, especially as it relates to children with dyslexia, to help design effective literacy interventions for students with learning differences.

He is also director of the Stanford Brain Development and Education Lab, where he studies how a child’s experience with reading instruction shapes the development of brain circuits. To learn more about his work, visit his faculty profile.
