Antony Hughes is a Lecturer in the School of Humanities and Social Science at the University of Brighton. His work is aligned with the Research Excellence Group, where he contributes to research on childhood and adolescent development, particularly in the context of literacy and learning difficulties. His research interests center on literacy development, cognitive models of reading, and interventions for dyslexia and Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs). He investigates phonological awareness as a key indicator of dyslexia risk and explores how self-paced, computer-based reading programs can improve literacy and behavior in children. His work uniquely combines literacy interventions with psychological approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness, and music therapy, with a growing interest in music and memory. The analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on brief, technology-assisted reading interventions that yield rapid improvements in reading ability and behavioral outcomes. These studies highlight the effectiveness of self-paced, computer-based programs in both English and Welsh educational contexts, particularly for children with reading difficulties. Antony Hughes has contributed to academic discourse through publication peer-review for journals such as Learning and Motivation and participation in research workshops like the REG Inspiration Event. These activities reflect his active engagement in the scholarly community. He has served as a peer reviewer and participated in academic workshops, demonstrating commitment to research dissemination and collaboration.
