Description of research activity:

The LETRA research group (Reading and Writing: Learning Techniques and Resources) focuses on the cognitive, linguistic, and educational processes involved in the acquisition and development of reading and writing, as well as their teaching for learning and literacy. From an interdisciplinary perspective, the group uses diverse methodologies, including linguistic analysis, teaching studies, educational intervention studies, and experiments in school and community settings. LETRA addresses issues such as the impact of visual and phonological features of letters on learning, teaching in multilingual contexts, and the design of innovative educational resources to enhance literacy across populations. The group combines fundamental research on reading and writing processes with didactic applications aimed at transforming classroom practices.
