In this article, we share our reflections on visualization literacy and how it might be better developed in early education. We base this on lessons we learned while studying how teachers instruct, and how students acquire basic visualization principles and skills in elementary school. We use these findings to propose directions for future research on visualization literacy.

Speech processing involves a complex interplay between sensory and motor systems in the brain, essential for early language development. Recent studies have extended this sensory-motor interaction to visual word processing, emphasizing the connection between reading and handwriting during literacy acquisition. Here we show how language-motor areas encode motoric and sensory features of language stimuli during auditory and visual perception, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) combined with representational similarity analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Clear patient instructions are crucial for effective pharmaceutical care, but there is a notable gap between the readability of medication information and the skills of many individuals, particularly Spanish adolescents.
- In a study involving 590 students, researchers assessed their understanding of Prescription Medication Leaflets for three medications, both with and without US Pharmacopeia (USP) pictograms, using questionnaires and health literacy assessments.
- Results revealed that comprehension was generally low and fell short of European standards, but the use of pictograms significantly improved understanding, especially for students with higher health literacy levels, indicating a need for better medication labeling strategies.
