So, you've found the BoB Research Blog...
What is the project?
Our goal as researchers is to scientifically measure—for the first time ever at this scale—the impact of author/illustrator visits on elementary student attitudes regarding literacy and creativity.
​
What are the implications?​
Potential benefits of this project include but are not limited to...
-
Opportunities for enrichment experiences for low-income students who often don't have the resources available for these kinds of visits.
-
Promoting sustained funding for future literacy programs and legitimizing their integration into school curricula as standard learning experiences.
-
Helping teachers best foster student interest and engagement with reading and lifelong learning—while disrupting the narrative that learning disparities are the product of unmotivated or disengaged learners.
