How the Brain Learns to Read

Is a good book to understand the pathways the brain has to undergoe when someone is learning to read. It also teaches you a lot of reading strategies.

Rather than lumping everyone into one box, this enlightens us to understand how the brain is so different in each individual impacting their ability to read, and learn in the process.

How The Brain Learns, is an exceptional resource for understanding the most effective ways to grasp information. This should be required reading for anyone in the educational field. It's helped to remove the barrier that stands in the way of average teachers becoming great and trouble students being seen as gifted. As the founder of www.Fighting4Youth.com, I've addressed these types of issues several times among students and teachers. However, it wasn't until I received this eye opening information from Dr. Sousa, that allowed me to truly be effectively in my quest to meeting these needs.

This book is useful. It was a required text for a graduate level class I took for my Master's degree.

I am a staff developer for teachers and parents regarding children from pre-birth to 99. The information that Sousa delivers in this text is invaluable. It helps us to understand in layman's terms, exactly what is involved in the brain and learning to read. Sousa is a topnotch author writing in a way that is so user friendly for parents, teachers, caretakers, administration....

I use his books like bibles when I instruct. Thank you Dr. Sousa for your wonderful gifts ....
