As our understanding of the brain’s role in learning continues to grow, new insights are reshaping how we approach reading instruction. From cognitive skills that allow us to decode words to the complex processes of comprehension and fluency, neuroscience provides valuable tools for enhancing literacy development. This episode delves into how educators can apply brain-based strategies to improve reading outcomes for all students, including those with learning differences. We also explore how knowledge of the brain’s processes can lead to more inclusive and effective learning environments. Join us as we uncover how understanding the brain’s role in reading can transform educational practices and foster a love of reading for all students.
