Literacy and The Brain: A Paradigm

We have only been using written language for about 3,000 years, so it's not surprising to know that we have no one place in our brain to process writing.

Instead, we use three main underlying sensory-cognitive functions in order to be literate.

In other words, we need to get three different parts of our brains to work together efficiently and rapidly just to get words off the page.

Put that way, it's no surprise that some people, especially right-hemisphere dominant children, struggle with print.

What is Literacy?

"Understanding and being understood in print."

For many, this is a struggle.

Learn what the brain does so that it can read, and what can be done about struggling readers and writers in this 1.5 hour lecture.
