Our Mission
The mission of the Psycholinguistics in Education at Northern (PEN) Lab is to conduct basic research on the psychology of language and reading that can inform professional practice. Our findings will assist teachers, administrators, school psychologists, speech-language pathologists and parents in making decisions in the best interests of children, regardless of background or (dis)ability.
