My research focuses on reading literacy and multiliteracy skills and knowledge. Multiliteracy includes both reading and writing of printed and digital texts. It also includes critical, ethical and cultural literacy. Multiliteracy is a key skill in modern society and it has an important part in new national curriculum. My research offers information about children's and adolescents' literacy skills in national and international context.
