Rachel Wright Karem studies how young children who speak more than one language develop communication skills, with a particular focus on preschoolers who speak Jamaican Creole and English. Her work examines how to fairly assess the language abilities of bilingual and multilingual children, and how to support their development in culturally appropriate ways. This research sits at the intersection of speech-language sciences and early childhood education.
Publication activity has been intermittent over the past decade, with a peak around 2019-2021 followed by fewer publications in recent years.
