Â
The past two decades have brought giant leaps in our understanding of how the brain works. But these discoveriesâ€”and all their exciting implicationsâ€”haveÂ yet to make their way into most classrooms.
Â
With the concise and readable BrainWords, you will learn how childrenâ€™s brains develop as they become readers and discover ways you can take concrete steps to promote this critical developmental passage.
Â
Introducing their original, research-based framework of â€œbrain wordsâ€â€”dictionaries in the brain where students store and automatically access sounds, spellings, and meaningsâ€”the authors offer a wealth of information that will transform your thinking and practice:
- Up-to-date knowledge about reading and neurological circuitry, including evidence that spelling is at the core of the reading brain
- Tools to recognize what works, what doesnâ€™t, and why
- Practical classroom activities for daily teaching and student assessment
- Insights about what brain research tells us about whole language and phonics-first movements
- Deepened understanding of dyslexia through the enhanced lens of brain science
With the insights and strategies of BrainWords, you can meet your students where they are and ensure that more of them read well, think well, and write well.
