My current research concern a reading intervention at preschool aiming to develop oral language skills for children. The project has an inclusive approach, meaning that all children attending preschool sites of collaboration are offered partitipation. A majority of participants has Swedish as a second-langauge. The intervention is assesed thorugh vocoabulary and narrative aspects of langauge as well as child well-being. By also employing qualitative modes of enquiry, I attempt to illuminate the aspects of implementation from preschool teachers point of view.

The thesis is based on three articles covering the aspects of planning and performing an intervention in the Swedish preschool context. 

My general research interest lie in the research to practice feedback, sustaining and implement evidence-based practices and various aspects of language development.

I attend the research school of special education that specializes on intervention within the early years of education.

My research is framed within a collaborative network and associated to a project of play and language based interventions in preschool, for more information please visit lekochsprak.com.
