This project is undertaken as work done for the Jackman Scholars-in-Residence 2022
research program, supervised by Dr Blair Armstrong at the Computational and Psycholinguistics Lab at the University of Toronto.
The specific research focuses on improving reading curricula by developing an explicit theory of reading instruction. Broadly, the
research is undertaken to understand how children learn to read and what kind of teaching helps pre-literate children
acquire reading rules.
More specific information about the code can be found in the sub-directories.
Some further work can involve improving the functionality of the word decoder. For example, the current decoder can not pronounce words that include punctuation.
The current rule and vocabulary dictionaries for the different curricula also do not include words or GPCs with multiple transcriptions.
These are simple fixes, which would not impact the accuracy of different curricula used in this repository significantly.
