OnDemand: The Neuroscience of Reading and Dyslexia: Implications for Classroom Practice
How does the brain reorganize to accomplish something as significant as the ability to read? In this seminar, we aim to equip teachers with neuroscientific evidence to inform more effective approaches for students with dyslexia.
We will review reading from a neuroscientific perspective, identifying underlying neural mechanisms and their impacts on reading acquisition. We will discuss the neurocognitive processes involved in reading, address challenges and potential barriers that arise when literacy acquisition goes wrong, and introduce evidence for brain differences associated with dyslexia, including structural and functional alterations in key brain regions implicated in reading and language processing.
