The Centre for Reading and Language (CRL) is a research group housed within the Henry Wellcome building for Psychology at the University of York.

The Centre brings together researchers interested in children’s language and learning.  Our team has expertise in the development of language, reading and number skills and uses this knowledge to investigate dyslexia, language impairment, dyscalculia, attention problems and learning disabilities such as Down syndrome and VCFS.     

The CRL aims to conduct high quality research into the nature and causes of reading and language difficulties. It also aims to translate research findings into practical solutions for educational problems.
