Rewiring the Brain for Reading Success

When: Thursday 10/11/18

When: 7 pm

Where: The Pediatric Development Center

Dr. Rebecca Resnik presents about the how our brains 'rewire' as we become readers. The process of becoming a reader is a complex neuropsychological event that requires a massive "reconstruction" project in the human brain. New research in neuroscience, education, and psychology has created exciting insights into why the process is wonderful for some, and challenging for others. Attendees will learn about the science behind what types of instruction and experiences rewire a 'reading brain' for success. Attendees will learn to identify persistent myths that continue to influence out-dated, ineffective educational practices (including what to do if your child is not receiving evidence-based reading instruction). Attendees will also learn about the dyslexic brain and brain differences due to other learning differences, including 'red flags', when to seek testing, and how dyslexia and other reading difficulties present as students progress through the K-12 curriculum.
