Children have a right to know how their brains learn to make sense of lines, squiggles, curves and dots they see in text become meaningful words and thoughts. Join Reese, our talking book friend, as she explains the process with the purchase of ‘Learning How To Read With Reese’!
I am delighted to share a Sneak Peek of a project I have been working on for many months in collaboration with the Facebook Group-Science of Reading-What I Should Have Learned In College. I volunteer as a Moderator of this group comprised of over 237,000+ educators, parents, and other concerned citizens.
I have created a video to help children/students, parents, caregivers, and teachers learn how the brain learns to read and spell.
Why have I created this video you ask?
Children have a right and deserve to know how the brain learns to translate squiggles and lines on a page into thoughts and ideas which convey meaning.
“We human beings were never born to read; we invented reading and then had to teach it to every new generation. Each new reader comes to reading with a ‘fresh’ brain – one that is programmed to speak, see, and think, but not to read.”
Maryanne Wolf, Author of Proust and the Squid, Tales of Reading in the 21st Century, and Reader Come Home
“It is simply not true that there are hundreds of ways to learn to read… when it comes to reading we all have roughly the same brain that imposes the same constraints and the same learning sequence.”
Stanislaus Dehaene, Author of Reading in the Brain and How We Learn: Why Brains Learn Better Than Any Machine..For Now
While Dehaene and Wolf are my heroes, Jeri has a lot to teach us about very early literacy. Notice her turning the pages and responding to the rhythm of oral language at age 1!
