So much for updates throughout the weekend 🙂  Instead, we’re back, it’s Monday and we’re excited to report that our own research presentations (one on bilingual storybooks that work well for dual-language learners, and another on how to use rhyme in storybooks to help kids learn challenging verbs) were both well received and connected to some of the many, many other talks that we heard from other researchers around the country.

Lots of follow-up emails to send! The most important thing we learned? The world of research on children’s cognitive development – and especially how to support it, is full of talented scientists and people who care deeply about kids. We’re looking forward to the projects that this conference has sparked, sharing more of what we learned, and strengthening our collaborations! Next stop, APS.
