Dr. Zipke's research centers on metalinguistic awareness as a catalyst for reading comprehension in elementary students, with emphasis on innovative methods like word games and puzzles. She investigates technology integration in teacher education, particularly addressing challenges in hybrid and distance learning modalities, while developing evidence-based strategies for students with disabilities. Her work bridges theoretical linguistics with practical classroom applications.
Analysis of her 2018-2024 publications reveals consistent focus on literacy skill development through metalinguistic training, technology-enhanced teacher preparation, and inclusive instructional design. Key trends include adapting pedagogical approaches for pandemic-era education, creating discrete literacy skill builders, and supporting K-12 students with disabilities through technology-enabled content learning.
