Hi everyone! My name is Miley Fisher, and I’m a junior majoring in Communication Sciences and Disorders. This semester, I’m thrilled to be working with Dr. Richtsmeier in the Phon Farm Lab. Our current project focuses on tongue twisters, studying the kinds of errors children make while practicing them and what those errors reveal about the process of learning to read. We are especially interested in how dyslexia can affect this learning. I’m grateful for the chance to be involved in meaningful research and excited to see what we discover.

Hi everyone!

My name is Brook Wilson, and I’m a first-year Speech-Language Pathology graduate student here at Oklahoma State. I’m excited to be working with Dr. Richtsmeier in the Phon Farm Lab, where I’ve been involved in our tongue twister study. This project looks at how children make errors while learning to read and whether dyslexia influences those patterns.

Being a part of this lab has already been such a rewarding experience. I’ve learned so much about the research process, collaboration, and the connections between language and literacy. I’m excited to keep building on this work throughout my graduate studies and to see how our findings might contribute to supporting children as they develop their reading skills.

Presenting with undergraduate honors student, Keeley Warder, at the Symposium for Research on Child Language Disorders!

Earlier this week, Phon Farm lab alumna Kelsey Case came back to the lab, and she brought her daughter Lennyn with her to do our word learning study. It was a pleasure catching up with Kelsey, hearing about the great work she's doing as an SLP, and getting to work with Lennyn. I hope to see you again soon, Kelsey!
