Shayne B. Piasta

Shayne B. Piasta studies how young children learn to read and develop language skills, and how teachers can be trained or coached to better support this early literacy development. Her work often involves testing classroom interventions—such as alphabet instruction, shared book reading, and small-group language support—and evaluating professional development programs for teachers, particularly for children at risk of reading or comprehension difficulties, including emergent bilingual learners.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the past decade, with a dip in 2024 followed by a notable increase in 2025 and 2026.
