Welcome

Collaborative research, to improve literacy experiences and outcomes across the lifespan

At the University of Edinburgh’s Literacy Lab, we aim to explore, understand and enhance the literacy practices, experiences and outcomes of children, young people, and adults, using a range of methodological approaches.

With members across Schools of Education, Psychology and English Literature, we are integrating theoretical, conceptual and methodological expertise to illuminate our understanding of how literacy enriches lives, and supports wellbeing.

We work regularly in research-practice partnerships, or using participatory approaches, to ensure children, young people, teachers, other professionals and literacy organisations and charities contribute meaningfully towards our work.

You can also find us on X: @UoELiteracyLab

With thanks to the many organisations, professionals, children and young people who have informed and supported our research, including, Scottish Book Trust, National Literacy Trust, Education Scotland, BookTrust, World Book Day, Chartered Institute of Librarians and Information Professionals Scotland, Barrington Stoke + more
