Gentry and Ouellette are cannonballing into the reading research
pool, they're making waves, and these waves are moving the field of
reading forward."" - From the foreward by Mark Weakland, Super
Spellers The past two decades have brought giant leaps in our
understanding of how the brain works. But these discoveries-and all
their exciting implications-have yet to make their way into most
classrooms. With the concise and readable BrainWords, you will
learn how children's brains develop as they become readers and
discover ways you can take concrete steps to promote this critical
developmental passage. Introducing their original, research-based
framework of ""brain words""-dictionaries in the brain where
students store and automatically access sounds, spellings, and
meanings-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 doesn'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.
