Dr Victoria Adedeji

I completed my  PhD at Bournemouth University under the supervision of Dr Timothy Slattery, Dr Julie Kirkby and Dr Martin Vasilev. I earned an MSc (Distinction) and BSc (First class) in Psychology at the University of Lagos, Nigeria.  I have previously worked as a School Psychologist in Nigeria and passionate about translating psychological research into educational practice. I worked as a fixed-term lecturer at the University of Winchester before moving to Leicester.

I am interested in

• understanding how children develop in their reading skills,
• how they transition from being beginning oral readers to becoming skilled silent readers.
• synchronizing eye movements and voice recordings to comprehend children's processing of text.
