Youngsun Moon
Postdoctoral Scholar, Education
BioSun (Youngsun) Moon is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University. Her research centers on literacy development, especially how reading and spelling interact over time, and how assessment data can be used to better understand and support students’ literacy growth across diverse linguistic and educational backgrounds. Ultimately, her goal is to translate research into tools and practices that improve how we assess and support students’ reading and writing development.
At Stanford, she is part of the Rapid Online Assessment of Reading (ROAR) team at the Graduate School of Education, which develops silent, group-administered reading assessments that are open-source, research-based, efficient, and scalable for use in schools. With the ROAR team, she is currently working on expanding the ROAR suite and examining measurement bias (i.e., whether the assessments function differently for students from certain backgrounds). -
