DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the fourth and final lecture of The LOLA\nSe
 ries: Lectures on Language Acquisition\, for parents\, clinicians\nand edu
 cators\, featuring Dr. Rob Savage of 91˿����Ƶ's Department of\nEducation and
  Counselling Psychology\nAbstract:\nReading is an important part of langua
 ge acquisition\, starting\nwith parents reading aloud to their children. D
 r Robert Savage\,\nAssociate Professor in the Department of Educational an
 d\nCounselling Psychology and a William Dawson scholar at 91˿����Ƶ\, has\nbe
 en involved with education as a teacher\, a psychologist\, and\ncurrently 
 as a researcher. His research focuses on the basic\ncognitive processes of
  literacy\, and other projects including early\nintervention programs for 
 children who struggle with reading. “In\nmy view\, the research we do and 
 the products we construct are for\npublic consumption\,” says Dr Savage. “
 I think on the research side\,\nreal progress has been made in understandi
 ng the process of how\nchildren learn to read. We’re at the point where we
  can start\nlooking at applying that [knowledge] meaningfully in schools.”
  As\nwell as discussing the basic cognitive and instructional processes\ni
 nvolved in learning how to read\, Dr Savage hopes to present\nABRACADABRA\
 , a web-based literacy resource for elementary schools\,\nduring his lectu
 re.\n
