I am interested in print exposure (how much you read), bilingual proficiency, reading comprehension, and vocabulary knowledge—in particular, the language of books. Reading for pleasure is one of the best ways to improve your language skills, but we all wish we could read more than we do—which is why it's hard to simply ask someone how much they read and get a straight answer. Common tests of print exposure are thus generally proxies for reading experience, but they also tend to be validated using native English-speaking university students, ignoring much of the variation in linguistic and educational backgrounds. I am developing a test which hopefully may remedy this. I am also investigating how the kind of reading we do changes how skilled we become in our second or additional languages.
