My review & meta-analysis of visual world studies on phonological prediction is now out in JML😊
I found a small, short-lived but reliable effect & an interesting timing re when phonology is activated.
+ some methodological implications for VWP studies!

We compared the vocabulary in 32 GCSE English Lit books to 200 samples of 32 books popular with British teenagers. We argue that the GCSE books will stretch avid readers with strong reading skills; these books may be inaccessible to pupils with poorer reading skills.
Why do students find GCSE English lit difficult? A new study from @RoyalHolloway researchers @Kathy_Rastle and Maria Korochkina reveals the vocabulary barrier presented by GCSE texts

Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.
