As a researcher, she authored one of the earliest and often cited studies on the perceived impact of COVID-19 school lockdowns on young children. Her current research interests focus on the legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic on high school students' writing, its implications for first-year university students, and the impact of emerging technologies such as ChatGPT on critical writing.

      Dr. Fontenelle-Tereshchuk most recent work is a book called "The Passage Into Academic Writing". The book offers a unique approach to helping first-year university students transition to university reading and writing, navigate the use of technology responsibly, and understand some of the key differences between high school and university culture.
