Oral language comprehension skills of children with or at risk for (D)LD can be supported.

Age was not associated with efficacy, indicating that 2–13-year-old children can benefit from comprehension interventions regardless of their age.

Great study from abroad. This begs the question, can parental reading and the presence of books at home overcome genetic predisposition?

Monica Melby-Lervåg @melbylervag.bsky.social · Jan 3

Books at home and reading to children is seen as causally related to childrens literacy development. Such studies often dont account genetics. In our study in JCPP, we do, and what happens then? 😊 with @drelsje.bsky.social @grandegerman.bsky.social

Stathis Psillos book is an excellent introduction to and overview of the problems of correlation and causation, and providing explanation, a central background to master when aiming to separate the theoretical wheat from the chaff advancing knowledge of crime and its prevention

At én artikkel ble oversett av norske medier, er ikke problemet.

Men når de fleste journalister nå har oppdaget Trumps strategi med støy og avledning, bør de fokusere mer på hvordan og hvorfor, ikke hva. Bak alt som kan oppleves som impulsiv galskap fra Trump, finnes det som regel en plan.

Ikke et ord i norske medier om DOGE-planen

Det foregår en utrenskning fra innsiden av den amerikanske staten. Washington Post har forklart hvordan DOGE jobber, men ingen har fått det med seg.

Så hyggelig å snakke om effekten av tiltak for barn som har behov for spesialpedagogisk hjelp. Veldig imponert med hvordan de jobber med dette, med nettverk og samlinger for å få til et mest mulig enhetlig tilbud på tvers av kommuner 😊

Although I managed to turn my morning walks into a habit (thanks to audiobooks), I've never managed to do so for writing. This morning, I finished this helpful audiobook, "Write Now Matter What"; now, I don't have any excuse to start writing 15 min every day, as the book recommends. Wish me luck!
