معرفی
Michèle Minor-Corriveau is an Associate Professor and Master's coordinator at Laurentian University's School of Speech-Language Pathology with over 25 years of clinical experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist. She specializes in evidence-based literacy instruction for French minority-language settings and co-founded the AlphaGraphe initiative, producing 60+ open-access resources grounded in reading science.
Her educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Humanities, Laurentian University
- M.Sc.S. in Speech-Language Pathology, Laurentian University
- B.A. in Linguistics, Laurentian University
Her research pioneers French literacy frameworks addressing unique challenges in minority-language education. She develops diagnostic tools for spelling analysis, validates language screening instruments for bilingual children, and creates decodable text systems using computational analysis (SATO software). Her work directly bridges clinical practice and classroom application, emphasizing phonemic awareness-to-orthography connections through embedded mnemonic alphabets.
Recent publications (2018-2022) reveal concentrated efforts in assessment validation—particularly for preschool language mastery and bilingual populations—and French spelling error diagnostics. Over 80% of her work targets practical resource development for educators in minority contexts, often involving cross-institutional collaborations.
Key recognitions include:
- Faculty of Health Teaching Excellence Award (2018)
- CNFS Scholarship for doctoral research (2009)
She actively mentors graduate students as Master's coordinator and has secured $550,000+ in research funding. Her grant work focuses on instrument validation and resource adaptation for Francophone education, directly responding to Ontario Human Rights Commission findings on reading disability accommodations.
Through AlphaGraphe and her blog, she disseminates evidence-based literacy tools to educators nationwide, maintaining direct engagement with school boards to ensure practical applicability in French minority classrooms.
