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?
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

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.
