Abstract

This paper and the accompanying poster board/parent brochure are a condensed version of the brain research behind the Science of Reading. The reading brain is taught, not born. Students must develop the pathways in their brain that lead to skillful and proficient reading. The path through the brain is outlined in this paper, as well as the differences between neurotypical and dyslexic brains. Any educator, parent, or scholar wishing to learn more about the brain and how it learns to read is welcome to this paper. Enjoy learning about how the brain develops the ability to read!
