Jenni Higgs Publishes on the Reading for Understanding Initiative

BCNM alum Jenni Higgs recently published a research article titled "How the Reading for Understanding Initiative’s Research Complicates the Simple View of Reading Invoked in the Science of Reading" in a special issue of the International Literacy Association's Reading Research Quarterly.

From the article abstract:
